    Question Need a hard drive (platter or SSD) w/ a physical sector size larger than 4k

    Software tester here, and seems we run into an issue when installing SQL Server on Win 11 on drives w/ a larger than 4k physical sector size. I've checked (using fsutil fsinfo sectorinfo c) 5 of my work machine drives and they are all either 512 or 4096. So of course SQL Server installs fine.

    Question 2017 iMac 27" 5K - Drive upgrade question

    Currently has 1 TB fusion drive (so spinning drive on SATA3 connection and some proprietary blade drive, maybe 32GB, in the PCIE slot.... from what I've read). Can I clone to a SSD then take out both drives and be done? Or do I have to "destroy" the fusion drive setup some way?

    Question Unknown device on network (IEEE Registration Authority)

    So to get it to disappear from being listed in Network and from my router device list, I had to boot up the Polywell unit. Enabled network sharing. Then I could ping it. Powered it down. No longer in Network and fell off the router device list. Man that was driving me crazy.

    Question Unknown device on network (IEEE Registration Authority)

    On my goodness... work sent me a SFF PC to test a specific type of software interface to our access control system. I know we source these SFF units from a company called Polywell. I think I know the culprit now, thanks man!

    Question Unknown device on network (IEEE Registration Authority)

    Noticed an IP I wasn't familiar with (192.168.1.218). Had a MAC of 50-a4-d0-91-3d-90. Router shows it is "hardwired" into my network. Won't respond to ping. Clicking on my Network icon on the desktop shows a device named "PC". Looked up MAC and it belongs to IEEE Registration Authority...

    Secure/recover a lost/stolen laptop

    I have a huge investment in a DTR gaming laptop. Since I travel a bit for work, losing it or having it stolen is a big fear. Any recommendations based on personal experience? Something that dials home/takes webcam pics/give GPS location, etc.?

    Repurpose current server into gaming PC, or ?

    True. I do travel occasionally for work, but the frequency doesn't make it absolutely necessary to have a portable gaming system. About the only way I buy a new laptop is if work agrees to upgrade my old one and I just pay the difference for the 980 card.

    Microwave is in, exhaust vent to outside is in place... problem is they are not connected to each other (see pics), and worse, they are not lined up. What are my options? Flexible tubing? Rectangle to round converters? Do I need to cut back the top exhaust to make room? Any ideas welcomed

    HTPC & NAS All In One Build Help!

    If you setup your disks using ZFS in FreeNAS, there is a RAIDZ2 option (kind of like RAID6) but since it's software based, doesn't require a hardware RAID card. If your mobo doesn't have enough SATA ports, you can use a controller card (like the M1015 flashed to IT Mode).
