You may have to re-format the drive. Can't say for sure you will get the data off easily. But it may be worth trying if you can't access your data via usb anymore. If you are on Windows and your drive is detected without formating, you're good

Oh my 🙈

From what I can see, the wd black drives are meant to be used in desktop devices anyway. So they should be working anyways and would not require modification?!

@@ALLGEAREDUP I have a WD 5tb, but i have a laptop omen with a HDD and sd slot i want 2 ssds - the HD is pretty slow - you think it would work

first line within the video's description ******* Replacement part is called DIAL ASS'Y, TRIPOD / CG2-2404-000*********

Usually yes. The external case generally does contain a controller just to power and adapt the drive from sata to USB. When installing it internally it is powered by the sata power connector and sata data connector. I could not think of a reason to lose data if not for mishandling

@@ALLGEAREDUP Once I find my hard drive I will attempt this. I had an issue with my power cord and need to be able to use the hard drive.

@@ALLGEAREDUP Thanks for the info and thanks for the video.

@@ALLGEAREDUP I tried this now that I found the HD. However the problem I have is I can see the HD in all other places except the File folder under "This PC". I might end up trying a diferent method if I can find one.

I ran it quite some time without putting anything on the vrms or ram. Never had any issue in that regard but for making the device last longer it probably would be ideal to add some small heatsinks if you can for them. Proper and constant airflow over these components goes a long way too. So, I'd say it's unlikely foe you to fry your card just for not adding some more heatsinks.

You’d just connect the G12 fan where the fans plugged in on the graphics card lol. And then the AIO fans will connect to where the AIO fans would normally connect on the motherboard.

hey, that's quite hard to answer without knowing more. If you bought a 2.5" drive, then you may be able to fit it into a laptop. If your external drive is complying with the 3.5" form factor, then you will be out of luck trying to install it in any laptop. Some laptops feature other standards for hard drive space tho; like m.2 or it is even soldered onto the mainboard.

Well, it absolutely depends on what you will be doing in raid. Obviously external and internal drives are not rated the same as nas or enterprise drives. If you are writing large date on your raid, then the cache mattes less (for eg. when you use it for file storage of images, videos and so on), a game library should be fine too. If you intend to use the raid for virtualization, then cache becomes increasingly more important. That said, in sich cases you will often create even multiple separate cache drives for your host system to use. What's the use-case for your raid?

@@ALLGEAREDUP Thanks so much for your answer:) The storage pool will contain my movies and series that I would like to (somehow) stream through the internet for my friends and family in the future.

xm8500 by far

The Xm8500 the yeti is only good if you soundproof your apace but still not good for singing other condenser and dynamic mics are better than the yeti

Agreed. We are already using too many peripherals. hah!

actually yes. still running the 1080ti. still going strong. can't post screenshots here, but temps on idle are around 20C and around 60-70C max under load

@@ALLGEAREDUP thanks

@@ALLGEAREDUP hey , about to actually do this to my msi sea hawk EK 1080 due to not wanting to water cool completely. You think I will need a vram heatsink , last time I tried to do it with a aio it went up to like 95° before I turned it off completely and took it off ...

@@dylanlow1727 I guess it depends on the cards overall design. Mine was using a blower-fan design and therefore was less reliant on the cooling solution. That said. I have also played around with some additional heatsinks on the RAM modules and such. In my case it did not make a huge difference as the card always hovered around max 70C under load and when the water was saturated. There may have been other reasons for quick spikes up to around 100C when the cooler and the dye don't make great contact.

hey. So, what you are asking is using and having the benefit of an internal HDD whilst not having the drive installed in your computer? That won't work unfortunately. You have the option to either connect it to the internal SATA connectors or you will have to go through a USB Connection. If you were to apply the tape and keep the drive in an external case, you won't have any benefit and risk for the controller (in the external case) to not communicate properly with the drive.

@@ALLGEAREDUP Yes thats what i was asking about, thanks for the answer

Actually you can continue using your external ssd via USB while the pc "thinks" it's internal, you just need to format it into NTFS and use a software like WintoUsb and you are good to go! You can even boot windows from it as I did

@@zalayeta007 hey thanks a lot, will be trying that out

Totally! The friend who lent me the 214 uses it in his recording studio mainly for singing or metal shouting, micing up the snare on a drum kit or some other things. I myself, find the high-end a bit harsh at times. Generally, I like more neutral mics and then either plug them into hardware that allows for tweaking or do something with it in post. that said, some people just need something they plug in, hit record and that's all they want to do. And the 27B is advertised as an instrument microphone. So, there is that too =) For me, if I had to go with just one mic that is not only used for voiceover, but I would also go with the shure over the 214, thinking its user is more flexible overall.

@@ALLGEAREDUP agreed. In the end, the “modern mic” (treble-heavy) mic sound is not really ideal. There is a reason why classic mics with classic voicings are chosen by producers which just sound better in the mix. Inexperienced laymen are initially impressed with shimmer and shine but just like wine as their ears age and learn their taste begins to mellow and they start to desire “warmer” and “darker”, not to mention wanting to avoid as many sibilance issues as possible. You always want a mic that is voiced as close to its final result in the mix as necessary, coming straight out of the gate...so that there is as little tweaking needed in the final mix. There is an excellent article which Sound on Sound magazine put out in 2010 which showcased a whole slew of different mics to different styled singers. In the article/video the singers initially chose a specific mic “as their favorite” maybe because of a mic’s aura or based on some personal bias, but when they actually sat down with the producer and were asked to blindly choose which mic really sounded best in the mix they chose mics with classic voicings that was different than their original mic choice! Your 27b has a voicing which is excellent for singing also because it’s frequency response has a similar shape to the U47 which is optimized for singing and is not overly airy or treble-heavy and where you can play with it more easily in the mix. And like you said because of its neutrality you can use it for different instruments as well because it is so versatile.

It's better to use one external drive for having backups periodically. Rather than using raid

most markers still let current pass through. so it must be something to isolate the pin electrically

@@ALLGEAREDUP Thank you.

a regular internal drive can go up to 500MB/s that is the maximum of the SATA protocol. But to answer your question: if your write speeds are this low with a drive, then it is most likely the chip in the external drive enclosure and most likely not an usb3 interface that you are connecting to your computer. So, I would bet on getting better reads and writes as an internal drive

can you link to an image? usually it should say 1:6,3 or in your case 1:4.5

@@ALLGEAREDUP I was told what the 21.4 at the bottom of the shutter/aperture scale. It is the diameter of the lens, not the filter size the actual lens in this case 21.4mm but it will take 37mm push on filters and lens hood. Mystery solved.

they either put these in there or if you are lucky one of the desktop drives. So either you do not have to apply any tape or this fix will work.
