Fix: Hard Drive goes to sleep even in High Performance Power Profile
I have a desktop PC running Vista Ultimate, and I want it running at its full potential. I have several hard drives, and notice that they do a “hard click” after a while, turning themselves off. I hate it when hard drives do that… I’ve had too many hard drive crashes that this noise makes me [...]
I-Star T5F-SS Hot-Swap Hard Drive Bay Review
I love storage. It doesn’t matter what kind. I have stock in those plastic dresser-style drawers, and I keep ‘em chock full of crap I’ll never use or at the most very rarely. Any time I look at a car I check out the trunk first, and try to estimate how many bodies would fit [...]
