Are external HDDs less reliable than internal ones?
Let's assume we're comparing the latest WD Blue 2TB to the latest WD Elements 2TB.
How do I troubleshoot this?
My Chinkpad won't turn on anymore. The LED on the logo lights up, the disk starts spinning and the fan makes a very quiet revving noise - in a pattern like "vrrrmm vrm vrrrmm vrm". The screen doesn't come on.
Sometimes if you shake the thing really hard it either turns on or gives a beep code. Unfortunately I couldn't make it do that in a while, so I don't know what the beeps mean.
If it does turn on theres a big chance it just completely freezes sooner or later, both on Wangblows and Leenux.
I don't even know where to start, it's so weird.
>>54711788
In my experience they're pretty much the same. Only real difference is the external HDD has a higher chance of becoming permanently damaged from falls since it will have a higher chance of being exposed to them.
Everytime i use a filechooser,be it in a browser or an application,after about 5 uses,it locks up and cannot escape the filechooser,forcing it to close.Running it from terminal shows no errors.
>>54711809
I already opened it up and removed the Harddrive. idk what that should have accomplished but I remember it gave me lots of sector errors up until it crapped itself.
>>54711788
IMO internal HDs always live longer, since they can be cooled easier and are not as exposed to outside bullshit or falls etc. inside a case.
source: ruined tons of external HDs, not a single internal one.
>>54711809
It sounds like motherboard is kill. Not much you can do except buy another chinkpad or build a cheap AM1/FM2+ desktop build if you don't travel much.

Soooo I have two sticks of 8gb ram, my pc only detects the stick in the first slot. After some fucking around I was able to find that apparently my computer thinks I have 8gb of virtual ram, and 8gb of physical ram. I don't even fucking know, and I can't do the ram swap test because my hsf is massive and hangs over the second channel., don't really have the nerve to take it off after I just built this thing. Anything I can do in the bios to potentially unfuck my ram?
Am I retarded or is there no actual difference between these RAM sets:

and

I was installing ubuntu on a seperate hard drive on my computer, and i had to cut it short so I just turned off my computer. I plugged all my normal hard drives back in, and rebooted my system.
It gave me a weird error message that had to do with a NAS filesystem and it was unable to boot.
I popped in a windows 10 repair disc, did the two bootrec commands, and it was fine.
Now, i just got home from work and i sat down and turned my PC on. It flashed the screen that said "f11 to blah DEL to blah" and then it went straight to "Reboot and Select Proper Boot Device or Insert Boot media.."
I popped in my Win10 repair disc and hit a key.
It did nothing. So i hit my numlock key to see if my keyboard was even working, and it didnt light up.
So i plugged it into a USB 2.0 port and rebooted, and it still wouldnt let me hit a key.
So i unplugged and plugged in my computer, booted it up, and it went to the "f11 blah DEL blah" and i hit Delete, and my keyboard isnt working.
TL;DR keyboard isnt working on boot and i cant et past the "reboot and select proper boot device"

Out of curiosity, what type of Thinkpad do you have? I actually had a VERY similar problem with my T520. I was able to get it to boot by clearing the CMOS, but I continued to be plagued with all sorts of bizarre system issues and instability. It just sort of started working after awhile, but I returned it nonetheless.

I have to recover a partition from a disk where the partition table & backup partition table were rewritten with new partitions but the old partitions are still (probably) on the disk.

Up until now (probably 1 or 2 weeks) my RAID0 SSD array has been fine. Playing some games yesterday and today now randomly results in the RAID array dropping 1 of the drives rendering it useless. The data itself is not gone because a restart restores the array.
Is there any reason a drive would just drop out of the array?

Whelp, there's probably your problem. Hate to say it, but those are shit and known to have electrical issues.

Skylake and i7s are a meme senpai. Just go with an LGA 1150 motherboard + unlocked haswell i5. You can find a decent Z97 LGA 1150 motherboard for like $100 for overclocking.
Gonna be buying an SSD for my desktop soon. Are all hard drives the same size (besides the smaller laptop ones)? I don't want to buy one and then it end up not fitting.
What are the odds of Broadwell-E prompting a new motherboard chipset? I know it will work on X99, but is it reasonable to expect something new to replace it?

I cheaped out and bought an asrock extreme3 a few years ago, and I think it's the reason my USB ports have always been underpowered and flaky. If I were to replace it, what z87 1150 board would be ideal? I may do some light air overclocking but certainly nothing extreme.

Well obviously you have to get rid of e set first senpai. Click on the start taskbar and type in "Add or remove programs". Then search up e set or whatever and get rid of it.
If you still can't get rid of the fucker there or it isn't there then you will have to start your computer in safe mode and search for it in the program file directories on C:\ and delete the files within to get rid of the old antivirus.
Finally I recommend you install the free version of Malwarebytes instead, it's the last decent free antivirus out there. All the other ones are bloated as fuck and consume a fuckton of CPU resources just to exist doing nothing but look fancy.

On a desktop? Power consumption between software and hardware 10-bit decoding is pretty meaningless. You'll save like a few cents a year. Your monitor waste more energy playing back chinese cartoons than the processor does decoding the video.
Anyway if you're interesting in hardware decoding then you'd just get a GPU and use MPC + madvr. This is only really useful if you're playing 4k blu-ray remuxes of chinese cartoons though.

No one smart enough to navigate to /g/ should be using an ISP rental modem.
>>54713371
From a technical standpoint, yeah, it's called double NAT. Easy to check for, just see if your router's external IP address is 192.168.x.x. If they control the modem login then you're screwed, unless you were to falsify credentials, which is probably a massive breach of contract and possibly local laws if they own the modem and you are just being leased it.
From a practical standpoint, I've never heard of anything like this, Jewish conspiracy or otherwise.

The connection between this modem and the dish is hidden behind a locked panel at the base of the dish. Bastards are screwing me effectively.
Thanks for your help.

The hard drive I use for music/movies has been making an audible noise, almost like a beeping for a few days now.

Should I replace this thing before it shits the bed, or am I okay? The drive isn't even a year old at this point.

How do I into proper airflow? I have 1x 80mm fan on the side and 2x 80mm on the back. Right now the one on the side is sucking air into the case and the two at the back extract it, I've tried vice versa too.

Why do you think you need to upgrade?
>>54717559
i don't, but i enjoy spending money on my computer
>>54717163
>How do I into proper airflow?
the simple answer is the more fans (i.e., more airflow) the better, and the larger the fans the better as they typically move more air for less noise (however 12cm fans are by far the most popular and you'll get the best cfm:noise ratio for the least amount of money on 12cm fans than say 14cm fans) -- however you can't just have all intakes or all exhausts as having at least one of each is equally as important
if you're using 8cm fans I'm going to assume it's an old or dodgy case, in which case the manual might not help, but most case manuals tell you which fan mounts should be in what configuration, but typically exhausts are at the top/back/side and intakes are at the front/bottom/side
whether or not your general airflow direction is front to back or back to front is almost irrelevant (like, <5c worse case scenario, heat rises so front to back is generally preferable but it makes almost no difference because there's active airflow), the only important thing is that you have intakes and have exhausts as they're both somewhat equally important, however the number for each is generally irrelevant so long as you have some of each
there's some idea however that more intake fans results in higher air pressure which results in less dust but whether it actually has an effect on dust remains to be seen, and having more exhausts than intakes isn't ideal because the airflow has to be coming from somewhere (typically intakes or grills)
so, whatever you do, changing the configuration of fans (exhaust, intake) is probably irrelevant so long as you have at least 1 of each but removing a fan will definitely fuck with temps to some degree
>>54717264
>You want equal intake and exhaust perfectly opposite each other.
it doesn't need to be an equal amount of intake:exhausts if it's an odd number of fans though, and sometimes more intakes is preferable just for ease of configuration on most cases

Theyre 120mm actually, not sure why I typed 80mm.
It's a very very cheap case. I made a pretty good rig on a budget in 2011 but I should have spent a bit more on the case. Lesson learnt.
I will mess around a bit more but I doubt I'll be able to get it to improve the temperatures much.

nothing really but xeons (especially low end) tend to have shitty clocks and the lack of overclocking doesn't make them ideal for gaming/general purpose desktop use due to the general requirement for higher single core performance so probably the cpu if anything if you're finding it's bottlenecking you for some bits

quit being a skiddie and go read the documentation and figure it out yourself
>>54717078
what country are you in? go find out how much your sockets are rated for and add up the wattage of what you're plugging in
I'll make it easy, uk runs at 240v (ish) with typical extension lead fuses being 13a = 240*13 = 3.1k~ watts before the fuse blows to protect the cable, but ideally you want a few hundred watts below that in case of peak power spikes, and for countries that don't provide fuses just look at how much amps the cable is rated for and work it out by multiplying your voltage standard by the amps on the cable to get maximum wattage
the danger of overloading sockets is generally the cables getting too much power than they're rated for, getting hot, melting the insulation and shorting

>>54717685
>I will mess around a bit more but I doubt I'll be able to get it to improve the temperatures much.
I mean, under IDEAL circumstances and under proper testing conditions (where you account for room temperature), the difference between proper high performance case fans and general cheap case fans is minimal (<10-15% at worse), and the difference in fan layout is probably indiscernible from general variations between tests, unless you do something silly (like having the top rear fan be an intake, back rear be an exhaust), I wouldn't worry about it too much
just slap as much case fans in the general intake/exhaust layout as you can tolerate the noise and be done with it, quality heatsinks > fan performance on heatsink > thermal paste > case fans > case fan layout as far as the priorities should be
