I use an external Drive to store my files. I frequently get diconnected (usually on Windows updates) and then it takes days to reconnect.
I use two computers and both access the ext Drive wirelessly, and usually they can both connect.
I am trying to make a backup on a one-terabyte USB Drive. When I try to make a file history backup it will appear fine for about 5 minutes. Then it shows an error saying that a file on the drive is corrupted and cannot be read.
After I got this message I checked the drive for corruption. I find...
As I have asked some other people, they have told me that I need to remove its allocation on disk manager and then reLink Removedallocate it for it to work. I have tried moving, copying, pasting, deleting, creating, or doing anything on my MicroSD card. Can anyone help me with this?
It feels like high-capacity SSDs are getting cheaper all the time, but in the words of a security researcher known as Link Removed on Twitter, there are still some deals that are Link Removed. In the spirit of discovery, he bought a "30TB" external SSD from AliExpress for $31.40, which also...

I did it. I was in a hurry and accidentally formatted a 200Gb Micro SD card in my external slot of my Android phone. It had every type of file you can imagine on it. Videos, Pics, PDFs, Word Documents, Rar, Zip & 7z files... and more. About 110Gb of data.
There are so many reviews that are...

I'm shopping around for an SSD to replace my aging magnetic HDD in an old laptop. I see that they make SSDs as small as 8GB. How does that work? I'm guessing that you load your OS onto the small SSD and insert a separate HDD for files or just connect an external. But is 8 or even 16GB adequate...
Whenever I plugin an USB flash drive or USB hard disk then these devices are recognized by Win10 successfully.
But they appear always two times in File Explorer:
- As an entry on root level
- as an entry below "This PC"
The drive label is the same e.g. "USB Dive (F: )"
How can I disable this...
I'm hoping someone in this community can help me with a hard drive problem. Recently, I replaced my old laptop (it ran a Linux/Ubuntu OS). Before getting rid of it, I removed the laptop's hard drive with the intent to repurpose it into a portable hard drive. I then encased it within a plug...

I have an external Seagate 8TB USB disk . As usual , when I have less than 10% free disk space , Win 7 gives me a warning . If this is only a data disk , is it still important to have at least 10% free space ?
I have a Seagate Backup Plus 8TB Desktop USB External Hard Drive on my Win 7 ASUS G73S laptop .
It works well , just for one problem . If I don't access a directory on it for a few minutes , then when I do , the file display can take quite a while to come up , while I get a slow advancing green...

My Macbook was stolen a few days ago and now it's time to get a new computer. Not certain that I'll get another Mac. Aside from several things that I'm not crazy about with Apple and the Macbook, there's this consideration. I backed up my whole hard drive onto an external hard disk. Whenever...
