I have an Apple SD card reader, with that I can read a uSD card (from my dashcam) mounted in a full size SD card adaptor on either my iP6S or my iPad Air. The files are then imported into iPhoto and can be uploaded to iCloud/Dropbox etc. Saving them anywhere else is a challenge! The Apple SD...

Yes, advance RMA will be the process I referred to. Normally a bad sector will be re-mapped and not used again, but in your case it may be one of the sectors that cannot be remapped. If you get an error code when you run the WD drive analysis tool, they will replace it. The new drive may be a...

Why have you created a raid 0 array on a single drive?

+1 to that. You can pre-pay for a drive and have it delivered in advance, then use the packaging to return your old drive and get full credit. Their response is excellent if you follow the process correctly.

You've got to feel sorry for Boogieman_WD, bravely trying to make sense of what was clearly a marketing decision. How on earth can such a rebranding actually help the consumer? Before it was clear, to me at least. WD Black, performance. WD Blue, general purpose, 7200 rpm good performance. WD...

What sort of battery life do you get using one of these? Not really sure I want to bulk out my phone that much really.

Disconnect the USB cable while the PC is running and reconnect, see if Windows downloads the drivers again. Mind those fans with your fingers!

I carry a laptop around for work, just like many do, and after some late nights getting home, it stayed in the car overnight. The following morning in winter my bag of tools were too cold to touch, even when carried into the Customer's site, but the laptop never refuse to boot as soon as I...

The SSHD drives don't give such a large performance boost as a full SSD, as they only have 8Gbytes of SSD. If you need the extra space then go for it, but if you want zippy performance, SSD is the way to go.

I have a DNS 320L and I don't think it supports actively rebuilding a single drive to a raid array. You can create a new volume on a second disc, but if you wanted to, say, add the second drive and convert to a raid 1 array to provide some security, you would have to export the data, reformat...

My 6S is also a TSMC, battery life was great until I left Facebook running in the background. I won't make that mistake again! It used over 40% of the total battery used in a 24hr period, from now on it gets firmly shut off. Over a week now with the new phone, battery life is much better than...

Tried to use the camera for the first time on my 6S today, all I got was a black image. All the tools were there, just no image. I was trying to snap a 'location info' label in Ikea. My wife had to do it on her 5S instead. Did a reboot in the coffee shop and the camera came to life. Hopefully...

Mine arrived at 10:45, well done UK Mail. On charge now.

Snap, I received a text from them this morning, the tracking number on the Apple order page doesn't work, but the text had an 'Apple' order number in it (14 digits) and that is recognised by UK mail's tracking. Now shows as 'Collected' and due for delivery tomorrow. Bet I'll be busy working...

Mine too, hope they aren't swamped by the volume and deliver them all on the day!

My 6S 64 space grey (ordered on Saturday around noon) shows as 'Preparing for Shipment' now, so that is reassuring. I didn't order the case until Monday morning, that's been shipped already. I have ordered a Sim Only deal with three, 2Gbytes/200mins/UL texts for £11 per month, when it arrives I...

Double click the home button to find all your running apps, swipe them up the screen to close. Settings/General/Bold Text makes the text easier to read. Settings/Sounds to silence all those pings and beeps from email, Facebook, text etc, unless you want them... Settings/Do Not Disturb...

I've had great success with a lighting cable made by 'hama'. They are about 1.5m long, so not 2m, but very robust and readily charges my iPad Air at full rate, let alone an iPhone. They are available in 'the rain forest' and elsewhere. Be aware that many USB extension cables don't have thick...

I have a 415+ that I bought about 3 months ago from elsewhere as OCUK always seem to be out of stock. I have 4 WD Red 2Tbyte discs in it and use Synology Hybrid Raid format. That gives me 5.5 Tbytes of space. As it has a quad core Intel CPU it really is blazingly quick for file serving. I don't...

You can usually disable the CPU fan detect feature in the bios, if it is not already turned off. I connected mine to the pump rpm lead, so the system can read the pump speed. (D5 vario pump).
