  1. Question Is it worth upgrading from my EA9500 router to a Velop Mesh AX5300 setup?

    I have had a Linksys EA9500 router feeding the house for a few years. I have a ~2500 square foot 2-story house plus basement that it feeds from the 1st floor. I also currently have a couple of MoCA 2.5 adapters (1 behind the router and cable modem and the other in my upstairs office) that...
  2. Question 2019 Acer Nitro 5 Gaming Laptop - better than 2018?

    Yes, at least per the spec page. Too bad the 2019 doesn't have the TI version. Curious if the faster CPU in the 2019 will offset the weaker GPU.
  3. Question 2019 Acer Nitro 5 Gaming Laptop - better than 2018?

    I got my son a 2018 Acer Gaming Laptop for Christmas last year. Now my other kid is saving for one as well and I saw a newer 2019 version listed on the Acer and Best Buy websites. Not looking for the super top-end again, but good bang for the buck. From what it looks like the 2019 has a...
  4. Which USB drive is better? 2.5 or 3.5?

    Just to follow up, I did wind up getting that 3.5" enclosure for the Red drive. Copied everything over and seems to be running great. And actually quite a bit faster transfer rates per AJA and Blackmagic speed tests. The 2.5" Passport was getting around 85 MB/s and this 3.5" Red in the...
  5. Which USB drive is better? 2.5 or 3.5?

    Thanks for the replies. I believe both drives are 5400 RPM. Maybe more cache on one? Not sure. Mainly looking for reliability and transfer rate performance of one over the other (if one actually is faster via real use).
  6. Which USB drive is better? 2.5 or 3.5?

    I have a Mac Mini that has an external 2 TB drive that I would like to upgrade to a 4TB. I also have a WD Red 4TB drive that I pulled from another system (just over a year old). Since it should be stationary on my desk, which drive would be better to use as external storage for my music and...
  7. Acer Nitro gaming laptop - noticeable upgrade from Alienware Alpha for gaming?

    Thanks for the comments. Yeah, I think per the specs this should be way better than that old Alpha. Found some reviews and looks like cooling may be a concern, but supposedly I can re-apply better thermal paste to cool a lot. Hopefully he wants it :)
  8. Acer Nitro gaming laptop - noticeable upgrade from Alienware Alpha for gaming?

    I bought this Acer Nitro gaming laptop for my son for Christmas. Was on sale at Best Buy for $600 on black friday. He currently uses a little Alienware Alpha 1st gen box plugged into a TV for gaming. Just want to see if anyone has this particular Nitro laptop and if it's noticeably fast or if...
  9. Linksys EA9500 Router - What is the fastest USB drive to connect?

    What about the drive format? Should I go with NTFS or ExFAT? If possible, I would like to be able to disconnect it if I have a massive data transfer or need to connect it directly to a computer. I have both Mac and PC in the house.
  10. Linksys EA9500 Router - What is the fastest USB drive to connect?

    Are you saying you tested your HP laptop over the network with the 750GB USB drive connected directly to the EA9500 router? Or is that the speed you get with the USB drive connected to you laptop? My scores were when I was testing AJA from my MacBook but the drive was attached to a different...
  11. Linksys EA9500 Router - What is the fastest USB drive to connect?

    Thanks for the replies. The drive I have is an old 500GB 2.5" drive pulled from a Mac Mini housed within a USB3 caddy. When I tested the througput wirelessly via my 2017 MacBook and using AJA benchmark, that 500GB drive had a write/read of 9MB/s and 12MB/s (respectively). Now, I also have a...
  12. Linksys EA9500 Router - What is the fastest USB drive to connect?

    I'd like to use one of the USB3 ports to connect an external drive to my Linksys EA9500 router. I had an old drive and the throughput stinks. I was looking at a USB3 WD Passport and WD My Book. Is one really better than the other for this purpose? I'd like to have reasonably fast read/write...
  13. Can drive connected to router be backed up to cloud without a PC?

    Thanks for the replies. So it sounds like getting a relatively cheap PC or NAS connected to the router via ethernet is really the best route to go.
  14. Can drive connected to router be backed up to cloud without a PC?

    From the searches I've done, it seems like you need a PC to facilitate backing up any kind of a hard drive (USB or NAS) that is directly connected to a router to a redundant cloud drive or service out there on the internet. Seems slow having to send the data through the router and back out to...
  15. Kids have Xbox One but also want PS4 Slim...worth it?

    I'm sure they would rather have the PS4 Pro, but looks like it's $400 vs $225 (after factoring the gift card) for the PS4 Slim :) Probably ok just to have "only" the Xbox One system though. In my eyes, it's like iOS vs Android...pick whichever ecosystem you prefer.
  16. Kids have Xbox One but also want PS4 Slim...worth it?

    We got the kids an Xbox One a year and a half ago and they've been pretty happy with it. But they traded in their Wii U and games and have a bunch of credit now at GameStop burning a hole in their pockets. After a visit to their cousins, they want to get a PS4 Slim as well (mainly for a few...
  17. Which of these 2 is better for gaming?

    Got it. I'm not trying to be pissy or anything, just relaying what they officially refer to it as. I agree, it seems like a "Alienware Alpha NVIDIA GeForce GTX GPU 2GB GDDR5" perhaps (which sure seems like a modified 860M).
  18. Which of these 2 is better for gaming?

    http://www.dell.com/us/p/alienware-alpha/pd?oc=dkcwa05hbts Isn't what I have listed the formal title for that GPU?
  19. Which of these 2 is better for gaming?

    Thanks, I found this link as well: http://ark.intel.com/compare/77481,81209,77490 I just placed an order for a 2nd one. I sure hope Dell didn't screw up the specs. On the config page when I bought it, the CPU says this: Processor: Intel Core 4th Generation i3-4170 Processor (3MB Cache, up...
  20. Which of these 2 is better for gaming?

    Not clear what you mean. I listed the graphics chips for both in the original post. That is good to know for the comparison. I have another question. I saw a couple other cheap models listed with the i3-4170T as well and the non-T i3-4170. Are these both noticeably faster than the...
  21. Which of these 2 is better for gaming?

    My son has a laptop "intended" for school work, but he plays some of his Steam games on it as well. I ordered a cheap Alienware Alpha desktop from the refurb store using the Dell 35% off promo. I'm hoping it's better for just games (then he can dump them from the laptop). Here's a comparison...
  22. Dell 545s not liking additional sticks of RAM :(

    I'm trying to make my in-laws old Dell 545s a bit more usable. I added a 240gb SSD drive and did a fresh install of Windows 10. It's not terrible, but I'd like to add a couple of additional old sticks of RAM I have in a drawer. For this 545s, it has 2x2gb sticks of RAM in banks 1 and 3 (2...
  23. Xbox One questions (upgrading from 360)

    Hi all, in my house, we have 3 Xbox 360 systems. A common one in our basement and each of my 2 kids (twins) has one in their bedrooms. Their birthday is coming up and they want a couple of games. I was thinking of also upgrading them and getting an Xbox One system (not three of them, just...
  24. Windows Vista - what the heck is eating up my drive space?

    Thanks for the suggestions. I am at work now, and not in front of it, and had looked at all of those except for running the WinDirStat. However, I was able to reduce it, and not sure why, when I toggled off the indexing on the drive. Doesn't make sense, but now the drive is reporting correctly!
  25. Windows Vista - what the heck is eating up my drive space?

    It's actually my buddy's computer that I am trying to fix up. His hard drive, when looking at the local disk properties pie chart, says it's using 108gb of the 111gb space (120gb SSD). But when in windows explorer, and with all hidden and system files shown, it's reporting out only using...
  26. How can I access my Mac hard drive files from remote location?

    It's not lightning fast, but I think I'm going to continue for a couple weeks with the free trial of Pogoplug. Attached is a diagram showing 2 different options of how I can connect my USB 3.0 media drive that will have the media files to then be accessed via the Pogoplug app that runs on my...
  27. For USB drive backup, Crashplan only or Carbon Copy Cloner too?

    Hopefully it's at least every few versions. I found this on their site as a hopeful predictor: https://bombich.com/download
  28. For USB drive backup, Crashplan only or Carbon Copy Cloner too?

    For my Mac, I have a 4-year subscription to Crashplan which has worked well to backup my USB media drive to their remote server. It can also backup, for no additional cost, to another local USB drive. To restore, you just initiate it from their app on the Mac. I like to temporarily connect...
  29. How can I access my Mac hard drive files from remote location?

    Teamviewer and Chrome Remote Desktop are both great for controlling the screen from the other computer. But TeamViewer does not seem to allow file only access when using the web interface which is what I would have to use on our couple of Chromebooks in the house since there is no installer app...
  30. How can I access my Mac hard drive files from remote location?

    I found this too. Looks like it may do exactly what I am looking for. https://pogoplug.com/remote
  31. How can I access my Mac hard drive files from remote location?

    Thank you for those links. However, I am still just not seeing how to FTP to my Mac Mini at home from a computer that is not on the local home network (i.e., when I am at work).
  32. How can I access my Mac hard drive files from remote location?

    Thanks for that link...I'll check it out. Sounds like I first need to figure out how to grant remote FTP access to that drive too :)
  33. How can I access my Mac hard drive files from remote location?

    I have a Mac Mini with an external hard drive attached. Without using a full screen share (like Chrome Remote Desktop or LogMeIn) or separate sync service (like Dropbox or Google Drive), I'd like to be able to access files on that drive when at work from time to time. Is there a software or...
  34. Kindle Fire HD vs Android Tablet - Amazon Prime Videos only advantage for Kindle?

    I wound up getting the Asus MeMO 7" tablet for my son the other day. Pretty nice and a good value! While slightly smaller, way better display than the Insignia 8". As for the MLB.tv app, while the app installs and loads fine on this MeMO, it crashes every time I try to stream a live game...
  35. Kindle Fire HD vs Android Tablet - Amazon Prime Videos only advantage for Kindle?

    I actually put a question on that item yesterday asking about the MLB app. Hoping for an answer and if its a go, I may order it. Looks like a nice tablet...was hoping to keep at ~$100 for my kid.
  36. Kindle Fire HD vs Android Tablet - Amazon Prime Videos only advantage for Kindle?

    Aren't ALL tablets made in China? I've seen that even some other new tablets aren't compatible with all apps. For example, the only tablet that works with MLB at Bat (per the MLB site) is the Nexus 7. Seems silly (if still true). This is why iPads (while more costly) are more adopted than...
  37. Kindle Fire HD vs Android Tablet - Amazon Prime Videos only advantage for Kindle?

    Well, I bought 2 "cheap" Android tablets yesterday for my son to try out. $79 http://www.walmart.com/ip/E-FUN-Next...-Blue/38275771 $99 http://www.bestbuy.com/site/insignia...blet&cp=1&lp=2 Both had the same processor specs and screen size/ratio/resolution. Was hoping the...
  38. Kindle Fire HD vs Android Tablet - Amazon Prime Videos only advantage for Kindle?

    That's great! I think a "deal-maker" now for the Android over a Kindle.
  39. Kindle Fire HD vs Android Tablet - Amazon Prime Videos only advantage for Kindle?

    That link is to the 2013 version. The link to Walmart is the 2014 version. However, the screen may be identical. http://www.tabletpcreview.com/tabletreview/e-fun-nextbook-8-2014-review/
  40. Kindle Fire HD vs Android Tablet - Amazon Prime Videos only advantage for Kindle?

    Thanks for the feedback. Since this is for my 10 year old son, he doesn't really need the best, but good would be nice :) As for me, I have an iPad Mini Retina which I love and does everything. I found this "cheapie" online...lower resolution of course, but Android with a quad-core processor...
