Messing with an old Seagate Momentus 7200.3 320GB hard drive with bad sectors... out of boredom. This WAS my original FTP Archives drive but I long moved the data off to a Hitachi 500GB hard drive, and that is now the FTP Archives drive. This data is also on my main NAS. Speaking of the NAS, another …

...The chip's typical application schematic is a GIF file and is not on the PDF. This was on C-Media's website via the Internet Archive. [focus point: circa 2000] I'm archiving this file myself. (You may want to rotate this file if viewed on a PC.) From here: https://web.archive.org/web/ …

Sis's gaming build needed a storage upgrade for the quite old Steam Games set (as she started running out of space on it), so the old Team 1TB SSD (Vulcan Z T253TZ001T0C101) was changed to a Micron 2TB SSD (MTFDDAK2T0TDL), and the separate Downloads drive was changed from a 1TB Seagate HDD ( …

That "Test Message for Ricardo" notification is a goof from Motorola themselves, showing on the Device Help app. (So... someone was testing in production...) Oddly enough, I have a Motorola smartphone but I never received that notification myself. Read about it during the August 25 power outage ( …

Got this off eBay very recently: IMG_20230711_151607275.jpg IMG_20230711_151635960.jpg IMG_20230711_151658039.jpg A Pioneer BDR-XD07B Blu-ray burner for $40! It was unknown condition (powered on). This unit still has its shipping firmware: revision 1.02. CDs and DVDs (and its R/RW variants) work …

Whew. Had to replace one of the 4TB drives in the main NAS. That was a success. I then look at the removed drive... last known bad sector count while installed in the main NAS just before removal was 21 - from 9, 8, 2. Even just before replacement, it did not show any pending sectors, either. After …

I return; the drive has no UNCs (uncorrectable sectors). Saturday, I plugged in the 1TB Western Digital WD10EALS to the old Second Generation gaming build to scan the drive, and the 13% hang (hang at 139GB event) does not occur on that setup, just the usual slow sectors, primarily at where the …

Examining the Second Generation gaming storage drives... SteamGames drive - Western Digital Blue Slim 1TB - WD10SPCX * deleted the SteamGames drive partition * created a new NTFS partition on the former SteamGames drive (forgot to zero-fill the drive...) OS drive - Western Digital Blue 1TB - …

Sis now wanted a laptop to replace the old ASUS laptop we got her a few years ago. Unit that replaced it: HP 15-ef2723od. Since the 3rd gen gaming build is pretty much a success (she mostly runs vintage games on emulators and the occasional modern fighting game; those run well... and Parsec actually …

Heh, realized very late that the 3rd gen gaming build's system drive specs had the wrong drive listed as System, as it's an Intel 7600p PCIe 3.0 x4 NVME SSD and NOT the retired 1TB Western Digital WD10EALS HDD as it was in the 2nd gen build. Fixed in previous post. Anyway... For curiosity's sake, I …

Some few days ago, I got to fully migrate my younger Sis's gaming build from an Intel 3rd gen CPU-based build to an Intel 12th gen CPU-based build. This was sorely needed because the second gen build is using an HDD for Windows 10 and some newer games she wants to play require newer hardware anyway. …

Upgraded the NAS from the 3x 2TB separate disk setup (which was originally 4x 2TB in 2015, then 3x 2TB in 2016, then 3x 2TB and 1x 250GB in 2017) running XigmaNAS 13.1 beta to a 4x 4TB RAID5 array setup running OpenMediaVault 6.0 last month, because we were running out of space. Copied the data from …
