@allquixotic so... my UPS works fine with the new PSU, at least at 200W load
it also reports more or less correct load values
so I now have no idea if the PFC affects it

Silly question... I want to add an item to my Amazon wish list, a data cable for my Western Digital Passport external drive. Is there one cable that they all use, or do I need to dig up the harddrive when I get home to check?
FWIW, my intent is to hook this up to one of the miniature computers I have to run a file-server and/or bittorrent connection so that I don't have to keep my desktop on all the time.
 
Burgi
Burgi
they are normally a standard fitting
 
FuzzyBoots
FuzzyBoots
Would that be USB 3.0 Male-A to Micro-B Data Cable?
 
Bob
Bob
@FuzzyBoots Depends how old the drive is.
Older ones would be USB 2.0. Older still would use mini, not micro.
 
Burgi
Burgi
 
FuzzyBoots
FuzzyBoots
I remember that the last time I hooked it up, I only had USB 2.0, and it therefore only worked if I used a short cable.
 
Hennes
Hennes
1:44 PM
@Bob And still older ones used regular USB (40MB era, I still got one)
 
Psycogeek
Psycogeek
the connection would be different for sure if one is USB2 and the other is USB3 . the usb shown on todays passports, looks like the same connection as segate externals controller usb3 connection with the V keying near the center of the connection. .
 
Hennes
Hennes
Which was far superior, since you did not have to try to fit a tiny plug into the drive.

{nods} I'll just wait until I get home and can locate the drive. I replaced it with a larger one some months ago and it's in a box.
Thank you for your help.
 
Hennes
Hennes
If you want to replace it try to go for a drive with at least USB3 (micro or -C or eSATA to TB3)
Esp if you consider a SSD as the larger replacement.
 
djsmiley2k
djsmiley2k
he's already replaced it, from what I read
 
Hennes
Hennes
Could be. I interpreted it as a "I already have an old external HDD but not yet a cable" and "I might want to get a bigger drive" (which could use a different case, though putting it in the same drive is certainly cheaper).
 
Burgi
Burgi
wow... there are people in my office that use their satnav everyday to get to work
 
Journeyman Geek
Journeyman Geek
@FuzzyBoots I think WD passports use 'standard' micro USB 3.0 cables
If you wanted to play it safe, a micro USB 2.0 cable's compatible, with the associated loss in speed.
 
Hennes

1:52 PM

So the universal standard, isn't ?
 
Journeyman Geek
Journeyman Geek
@djsmiley2k USB 3 B cables are USB 2 cables with additional appendages
 
djsmiley2k
djsmiley2k
(I know it's serial bus)
@JourneymanGeek so? SAS cables are SATA cables with bits added too
 
Hennes
Hennes
The universal standard when it was created was nicely universal.
USB-A (rectangular) port on the master side, 6 sided B connector for the slave
No way to mess it up. Nice and large connectors.

@JourneymanGeek Oh ffs.

SATA is Power+data connector, with a hole between them. (can be two cables or just one cable)
SAS does not have that hole

if a device is acting up in windows, and your doing something important and dont want to reboot , you could always try disabling and re-enabling the device in the device manager. (or also in a batch file with devcon)

I just for real estate for some dumb program which only works full screen, a second HIGH/TALL screen for EPAL and some more room for notes, drawings or mail.

1920 x 1080 Ugh. How can you live with only 1080P

And IPS is something I like since I tend to rotate screens 90 degrees. IPS just works better than TN when you do that.

I have a 2560x1440 as primary (dell 2515) and a 1920x1200 as secondary (and a 1920x1200 TN unconnected)

1080p on 15-17" is perfectly fine. Most eyes literally cannot discern more.

I used my own funds to buy a cheap 1920x1200 screen and used that at my last places to work.
As a secondary or third screen.

If your game/desktop space/etc. doesn't look good enough, then just rescale/supersample.

I have dual 1440x900 displays at work.
At home it's a 1440x768 (IIRC) laptop.
When gaming I attach a 1920x1080 TV via HMDI sigh and let my wife watch soap operas...

I had dual 1440x900's plus a central 1920x1080 at my last place of work. And a 1280x1024 hooked up on the side

@ThatBrazilianGuy I agree. First world problem. But it does boost my productivity.
Origianlly I scavenged deserted work locations for 3 22" monitors and turned two on the side.
(with help of an USB to graphics thingy)

@Hennes At an occasional second office at work there was a single 23" display and it was significantly more impressive, comfortable and productive. I'd love a dual setup.

@Hennes I had to bring in an old/spare graphics card from home to get my work PC to drive all 4 monitors I scavenged

Once you use two apps whose scroll sucks goat balls and you need to switch a lot between them (rewriting rules from old model to new model in a new program on the other screen) then multi screen setups start to really help.

My home PC runs four monitors fine.
Heck it could run six. If I had a home.

MY home PC can do 4 monitors. My work laptops all had 4 or more outpouts... but failed to drive more than 2 at the same time.

My work laptop could do 3 at a time IIRC.

I could go 2560x1440 + 1920x1200 + 1920x1200 + 1024x768 at home. But two screens suffice most of the time

My home PC would drive 3 off the NVidia card and 3 off the onboard Intel IGP, but couldn't do all 6 on one adapter

Also, identical resolution and size on screens is nice.

I'd like a larger 4K/120Hz main display (as my main display was also my smallest, at 23") but I dunno what I'd do with the side displays. I also like having multiple monitors just because maximizing something onto a second monitor is a lot easier than trying to arrange three things onto one monitor

At home I often have notepad and swriter (spreadsheet on the second screen) and Putty/firefox/thunderbird on the primary
At old work (sysadmin) I tended to use more screens with logfiles (tail -f).
Those usually alerted me to problems before the phone calls started

> 1 laptop, 3 4K screens, the ultimate gaming experience

Razer's concept device called 'Project Valerie' is going right against the current of how laptops are made. It's not small or light.

Instead, it has three 4K screens that offer 12K resolution. The extra screens automatically fold in and out like wings.

as a temp laptop I still use the Dell E6500 (1920x1200 IPS)

A laptop with a single 4K display is stupid, let alone three
Ultrabooks with 4K displays already lose 40% of their battery life just wasting cycles rendering pixels you can't even see, and then rescaling them to be larger so people can actually read them again...
