It can be difficult to decide what kind of cloud storage is right for you, given the massive oversaturation of products available to choose from. It depends on which operating system you use most frequently, the types of files you like to upload, and any number of other factors. For example, if you spend most [...]
Given the technology and the speed of modern computers, there's been one part that just cant keep up, the good old Hard Disk Drive. Starting computer in the 90's just wouldn't have been the same without the whirl of those those archaic lives slowly spinning to life. Newer tech, such as the Solid State drive, [...]
Intel's 760p NVMe SSD is the follow up to the companies first generation, a model that had a bigger price tag then spec. The new 760p comes with bold claims of not only having twice the performance and capacity of the 600p but it even uses with half the power consumption. Better yet, the 760p [...]
The favorite and preferred drive of this blogger for regular PC as well as NAS storage just lost a ton of credibility An expert on information security, James Børsgey, reported about the software bookmark he had found at Western Digital in the middle of 2017. Six months later, without getting a clear reaction from [...]
Ransomware is a type of malicious software from cryptovirology that threatens to publish the victim's data or perpetually block access to it unless a ransom is paid. While some simple ransomware may lock the system in a way which is not difficult for a knowledgeable person to reverse, more advanced malware uses a technique called [...]
In 1967, IBM tasked their San Jose, California development laboratory to develop a reliable and inexpensive system for loading microcode into their System/370 mainframes in a process called Initial Control Program Load (ICPL). The System/370 was IBM's first computer system family to make extensive usage of volatile read/write semiconductor memory for microcode, so for [...]
The 1980s saw the minicomputer age plateau as PCs were introduced. Manufacturers such as DEC and Hewlett-Packard continued to manufacture minicomputer compatible hard drive systems as industry demanded higher storage. Hewlett-Packard introduced the HP 7935 as one such drive. But it was clear that smaller winchester storage systems were eclipsing large platter hard drives. [...]
The buses that are exposed through the M.2 connector are PCI Express 3.0, Serial ATA (SATA) 3.0 and USB 3.0, which is backward compatible with USB 2.0. As a result, M.2 modules can integrate multiple functions, including the following device classes: Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, satellite navigation, near field communication (NFC), digital radio, Wireless Gigabit Alliance (WiGig), [...]
A solid-state drive (SSD), also incorrectly known as solid-state disk is a solid-state storage device that uses integrated circuit assemblies as memory to store data persistently. SSD technology primarily uses electronic interfaces compatible with traditional block input/output (I/O) hard disk drives (HDDs), which permit simple replacements in common applications. New I/O interfaces like SATA Express [...]
If you need to expand your storage space with an external hard drive and you use both Mac and PC, you'll likely run into a few obstacles. Hard drives advertised as being compatible with Windows and Mac OS may have mislead you into thinking you could actually use one hard drive for both computers. You [...]
