    need help with my gt 1030

    Usually when I encounter unknown devices I use a program called Unknown Device Identifer. Despite being a fairly old program it uses a principle that makes every kind of hard identify itself by any kind of serial number and also manufacturer. Here: I put this (temporary) on my own website, to...

    PC USB Keyboard not working on Acer Chromebook

    I inserted the mouse in the USB port where the keyboard sits, and it works also fine. But I did also change the keyboard to a gamers keyboard and to be my surprise that keyboard IS working, it's kind of ironic, I have a very simple keyboard which is not working on the Chromebook, but this gamers...

    PC USB Keyboard not working on Acer Chromebook

    For my work I have to work from home now. I got a "Chromebook", a device I am not familiar with, but so far I managed to buy an USB C adapter to HDMI to connect the device to my big screen, in order to work better on it. Also a standard USB mouse works fine. Everything seems to work fine...

    [LAN] - How to share a map with only 1 or 2 other pc's?

    Come on you guys, this should be more easier. My Main PC has a 'name', is it really NOT possible on my HomeServer to JUST allow my Main PC access and others not? How difficult can this be? I am talking about pc's and Window's shares and you are talking about the NAS.

    [LAN] - How to share a map with only 1 or 2 other pc's?

    This is not NAS related, this is only sharing files and having access between Windows 10 computers. The synology NAS listed there is actually not relevant.

    Well I was lucky to just find ONE advertisement on Marktplaats.nl here in my country, it was offered for a reasonable price of 10 euro's. So I got it. :-)

    Can I build a raid 5 array with hard disk already containing data?

    I do already have a backplate, I simply don't have the mounting bracket that goes between the backplate and clips of the (Zalman) cooler.

    Can I build a raid 5 array with hard disk already containing data?

    Yes, but if you don't have the mounting bracket for that cooler, since that cooler works with mounting clips instead of screws, I only can use the backplate of the previous cooler. But I am missing the mounting bracket which normally is present in the box of the motherboard. But that thing has...

    Can I build a raid 5 array with hard disk already containing data?

    For now I need first a freaking FM2/FM2+ mounting bracket for the new cooler I bought for the homeservers motherboard. I am stuck at getting such a simple part, which I seem not be able to find in my own country (The Netherlands) and if bought at AliExpress, it takes 30-50 days to get it. I...

    So difficult to find a simple part???

    I need an FM2/FM2+ Mouting Bracket for usage of a Zalman CNPS9X tower cooler. The one originally that came with my motherboard I have no idea where it is. Back then I bought a very simple standard cooler with a very small fan that totally does not cool at all. (Idle the AMD processor was burning...

    Can I build a raid 5 array with hard disk already containing data?

    Well, everything is ready to assemble. I ordered 3 extra new drives of 4TB, I managed to squeeze the existing information on 1 of those drives, although I had to delete one of my Truecrypt backup files (which was 1TB), but I still have 3 of those left, so no real big deal. But now I am thinking...

    Can I build a raid 5 array with hard disk already containing data?

    Thank you for your reply, I was also thinking about this array. With 3 drives of each 4TB I would have 12TB, but only 8TB would be available. I already have 4.5TB in use. Since it would be a pain in the a$$ to redo a 3 drives raid 5 array to a 4 drives raid 5 array I think it's better to...

    Can I build a raid 5 array with hard disk already containing data?

    Situation is as follows, I have two 4TB drives which are independent. I want to add another 4TB drive (maybe even two) and create a single Raid 5 array. But, the two existing hard drives are containing about 4.5TB data, which I cannot store elsewhere. My question is, is it possible to create a...

    Mute incoming Facebook Messenger calls when on WhatsApp

    I hate this so much you know, when calling on WhatsApp that somebody else is calling on Facebook Messenger and that especially the sound of Facebook Messenger is clearly hearable for the other person to whom I am calling with on WhatsApp. I can mute individuals on Facebook Messenger but that...

    Can the TANIX TX6 media player also play 4K 60fps content from a NAS device?

    Lot's of reviews, but this critical information I keep constantly missing. Yes, it can play 4K 60fps from YouTube, also from any internal devices or usb 3.0, but how about over the Network from a NAS? I want to buy this device here (in The Netherlands)...

    How to install Windows on a spanned volume?

    Okay, this is the problem I have. For YEARS I had 4 external drives of 640GB each. All these drives functioned as backup drives for my main backup for my personal stuff. Besides these 4 drives I have a server on which I keep one big encrypted volume, one on my main pc and one on a 2TB loose hard...

    Best OS for Pentium D dual core 3,2Ghz

    Okay, I also have a Core 2 Quad Q8300 with 8GB ram, at 2.5Ghz, machine standing here, but it's in a pretty small Compaq DC 7900 case. I barely managed to fit a low profile AMD HD 5450 graphic card in that machine. The quad core is definitely faster with Windows 10 on it running, but the GPU is...

    Best OS for Pentium D dual core 3,2Ghz

    According to many sources this processor has a bad reputation for being slow. And it does so, because I have one over here with Windows 10 on it, 4GB of ram, Windows installed on a 120GB Adata SU650 ssd, and even using a ram-disk of 1GB to put the Windows temp files in, but still the thing is as...
