    NAS Noob Question: Synology DS218j add new storage pool

    I'm sorry, but that's over my head. Like I said: NAS noob. Alright, so below is a screenshot of Storage Manager. Should I remove the new drive, then reinsert it a while later and configure it as a new storage pool? If not, how do I go about having two volumes in the same 2-bay NAS, each with...

    NAS Noob Question: Synology DS218j add new storage pool

    Disclaimer: I know jack about an NAS. I bought a Synology DS218j so I could have an always-on network storage device to stream movie and TV show files without having my PC on 24-hours a day. The Western Digital white 10 TB drive in my DS218j is getting close to capacity, so I bought and added...

    Nvidia Shield connection tips, please (re: how to properly connect to existing system - semi-noob)

    Thanks! I don't want to buy much new stuff right now because of upcoming expenses. I will give that a try. I diagrammed the current connections to and from all the components so that I can put it back the way it currently is if something doesn't work out right. For clarity, when you say...

    Nvidia Shield connection tips, please (re: how to properly connect to existing system - semi-noob)

    Okay, so I'm a bit behind the times: I've used the same Panasonic Home Theater in a Box system for like 7 years, and have things connected via Optical Audio. But I purchased an Nvidia Shield on Prime Day, and it doesn't have an optical port, so I guess I have to come up with a new connection...

    Right place? Downloads absurdly slow sometimes

    Thanks for the replies. Simply debrid (and other services like rapid debrid) buys blocks of subscriptions to file hosting services like Uploaded, File factory, etc., then makes them available to their own subscribers (much cheaper than directly subscribing to the services) by using their link...

    Right place? Downloads absurdly slow sometimes

    This all started just a couple of weeks ago. I've been extraordinarily busy at work (struggling to put out a rush of proposals before year's end) so I didn't really get a chance to investigate before today, my first full day off in two weeks. I have used simply debrid to get links from various...

    PS3 worth it now?

    Umm, isn't Dante's Inferno a little dark for a 12 y/o?

    PS3 worth it now?

    I'm a middle aged professional guy, so I'm never going to be a hardcore console gamer. I'll probably be lucky if I get in 2-3 hours a week after hours of pc gaming on the weekends. Plus, Watch Dogs will be on my doorstep in 10 days. Yeah, The Last of Us is a primary draw, but all the others...

    PS3 worth it now?

    I'm not a console gamer (though my 12 y/o is); I've always gamed on PC. But the PS3 has some great exclusive games that I want to play (Last of Us, Uncharted Series, Shadow of the Colossus HD, LBP, etc). I have very little experience with consoles. So here's my question: Is a 250gb slim...

    Sapphire 7950 - flickering lines only when downclocked. Normal?

    I've had the Sapphire Radeon HD 7950 3gb for a few months now and I've never seen that issue. I have used the MSI Afterburner and Sapphire Trixx utils to do a mild overclock on the GPU (something like 10-15%), but I didn't see that problem even before I OCed it.

    This is odd; a little help with a problem, please

    Thanks for the reply. There were no video settings in the BIOS. I checked through every available screen and sub-screen twice to make sure I wasn't overlooking anything.

    This is odd; a little help with a problem, please

    I bought my sister a refurbished Dell XPS X8300 (specs below) off of ebay as an early Christmas gift. When I got it in, I discovered that the Radeon HD 6770 that came in the machine from Dell had been removed (it wasn't mentioned in the ebay ad; I found out about it by looking up the service...

    Please help my sister with her monitor connections

    [note: I am posting this from way out in the country where we're spending Thanksgiving; I have very limited internet connectivity, so please excuse any errors] My sister's video card (Zotac Geforce 8800GT 512mb) from her old computer crapped out, and I sent her a spare card (Gigabyte Radeon...

    [ Help, pleez! ] Win 7 - Insufficient Privileges - Steam - WTH??

    Well, I tried a number things last night with no joy. And since I don't know whether the O&O Disk Image image I created just after this current installation also has this problem, simply restoring from that might be pointless. I guess it's time for yet another a reformat/reinstall. This time...
