I have been watching the videos for Tek Syndicate for about 2 months now, and Finally decided to join the forums. Great content!, and Logan has a great sense of humor.
My questions might not be being asked in the right place and is not necessarily to Logan or Wendell (move if need be) , but I didn't know where to start, and hopefully get something concrete, if there is anything answers.
Q1. About 4 months ago I built a computer with a Athlon x4 750K (QC, OC'ed to 4.2ghz, 16GB Ram, GTX 650 Ti Boost (2gb), and a Samsung Evo SSD.
I can run 3 1080p monitors, and here are some scenarios/tests I did, I can run 6 hd videos at the same time, no lag, Neverwinter Online 1 monitor, Minecraft on one monitor, and a hd video playing on the last, all while running backups in the back ground, fruity loops, and having 15+ chrome tabs open......NO LAG what so ever, Now while this isn't a real world everyday task, this was for testing.
On a fresh boot, while watching 1 video online, and browsing Newegg.com, when I click on a product image (this is just on newegg {chrome and IE} , my computer goes ape ca-ca. Lags to all get out till its finished loading the image. This isn't a big deal or probably not even answerable, or maybe Im being to picky, but what the heck is on newegg's site or code, that causes my CPU to freak out? I browse newegg alot, its a great time killer to see whats all out there.
Q2. I have heard of this 3-2-1 backup, but with this day in age, what other media is there besides a hard drive? CD's or DVD's? with 1TB of pics I have taken over the years, I cant see myself burning to that many disks on something breakable and what if my crazy friends throw them in the microwave :) LOL, jk. But I have been using a plethora of various hard drives over the years some are still 80gb, and 500gb IDE drives, that just wont die....Maxtor, Seagate, Hitachi, WD. I even have a Quantum Fireball 40gb, and still store stuff to, on an external IDE enclosure. My question, is there a sure [set in stone] expiration time on a Spindle HDD?
Thank you to all, and sorry for a longish post. Looks like a fun community here!
