Question Can I Use M.2 AND 2.5" SSD's in One Laptop?

Can I use an M.2 SSD for a boot drive and a 2.5" SSD internally in a Dell Latitude 5580 or can I use only one or the other for a boot drive? Thanks

Login problems

Thank you very much. I was able to change my PW on the forums login. It had my current email address. I don't know why the login on the main page had a different email address. Thanks again.

Question How can I learn the HDD inside a WD external HDD?

Thanks. You can usually count on them being BLUE or WHITE model drives inside but I found info that makes me wonder. I don't want GREEN or GOLD. I usually build my own but this is complete, HW encryption, website backup ware, USB-C and an HDD would cost almost twice as much and then add...

Question How can I learn the HDD inside a WD external HDD?

Thank you for your response. I need to know before I buy the ExHDD. I don't have it to test it with Crystal Disk. I want to know what I'm buying. I'm considering a My Passport Ultra USB-C and a My Passport (non-Ultra) USB3.0. They're refurbed by WD. I would think the ULTRA with USB-C...

Question How can I learn the HDD inside a WD external HDD?

Is there a chart, spreadsheet, googledoc, or way to look up the HDD inside a WD external HDD? I've done an Internet search that worked in the past but I have the P/N of the externals and of the HDD inside but searching the Internet for them finds nothing. Thank you.

Question Chromecast Uses All my Bandwidth When Idle

I connected a Chromecast to my TV. I had to do an update straight out of the box. I forget if I had to let it access my WiFi router to update or if I DLed something to my laptop and cast it to the device. When done, I cast a video to it from my laptop and found it to be jittery and...

Question DVDFab Phones Home?

Often when I use DVDFab, Yahoo email tells me I have no Internet. There isn't enough available bandwidth for it to recognize an Internet connection. I can sometimes send a short text email. I called my ISP and they informed me that something was using ALL my bandwidth, something in the high...

Some of the keys on the original keyboard for my Dell Latitude E6420 stopped working. I bought a replacement on ebay in the last week of May. I didn't install it for a while, maybe one or two months. The replacement worked fine at first but in the beginning of September, the space bar stopped...

Dell Laptop Slice Battery

Many manufacturers make a "slice" battery that fits across the bottom, back of the laptop in addition to the normal battery. My question is, do I have to have a regular battery installed to be able to use the slice battery? If so, does it have to be a working battery? Do they work in...

Question How to Get English from Win10 from a Japanese Keyboard?

I have a Panasonic CF-SX4 wiht a Japanese keyboard. How can I get it to do English? I've seen it done in Win7. People were able to toggle between English and Japanese in the Task Bar. Maybe I need a language pack. I don't mind that the <Shift? <2> key doesn't produce a "@". I mind that the...
