Unwound the crypt in 2 hours. Back to normal. The drive is backups and I have three backup locations so if it dies no biggie.

I am using Acronis True Image. I found the windows backup software to be agonisingly slow

Its at 87.3% in 24 hours. It IS going up. Its an IOMEGA USB3 drive and is about 75% full. I want to give up but not sure if it will screw the drive up.

I thought it prudent to use Bitlocker on a 500gb external drive with data on it. Clucking Bell! I wish I hadn't bothered. It takes DAYS!

Just to update, got rid of WHS and installed win 10 pro. Good move!

Thanks for the suggestions. I would have thought you could turn power saving off and no password so that if it does restart after an update you go straight back to work?

Yes that's possible. Odd that the laptop is ok and its had the anniversary update. If it hadn't worked either I would just give up on it. How would windows 10 do as a server anyway? would it work headless like WHS does?

Wonder if it's a server or client problem. It seems hardly worth reinstalling windows over. WHS is a bit overkill anyway but it did take daily backups regular as clockwork and saved my skin a few times. Acronis is doing the same job. I just can't give up on these problems!

Thanks for the reply. First thing I noticed was backups had failed or hadn't been tried. Couldn't connect with the connector but could still through Windows network and remote desktop. Uninstalled connector but it wouldn't reinstall. Laptop is fine although it has also been updated. Been round...

I am unable to get WHS 2011 pc connector to install ever since the anniversary upgrade of win 10. It gets to downloading software and bugs out with an error message and unwinds. Tried every mortal thing and have resorted to Acronis.

Now I have numerous USB 3 devices lying around. Daren't sell on EBAy as I'm not sure they work properly!

This is clearly not mature technology.

Oddly enough, I looked at the Akasa Baymaster and noticed that the USB 2 ((AK-ICR-10) model was still available but the USB 3 (S Model) version no longer was. This tells me something!

Just tried Bitfenix unit but same problems you describe. In fact I have had so much trouble with USB 3 add in cards etc I have given up and stripped back to only the Motherboard supported units. USB 3 seems to be very flakey in many areas. I use a startec SATA CF card reader for front panel and...

Well. Turns out the Ethernet socket is really dodgy on the Roku. Jamed a piece of cardboard under the RJ45 and it works like a charm. Discovered this after even the direct connection was flaking out. Bloody awful really and I should send the unit back, but can't be arsed. On searching it seems...

That's what I thought. Tried several cables and the laptop works no problem. Thanks for all the replies. I've contacted Roku support to see what they say. Cheers!

Laptop no problem. Its just the roku. Maybe it's set up not to work.

The thing is the ROKU is already running off a Netgear Pro 8 at the router/load balancer end. I thougt I could daisy chain another at the Roku end but na da. It's not that big a deal. I just can't get my head round why it doesn't work. When I plug the jack into the switch lights come on. Cable...

netgear Prosafe 8. Also tried a TP Link. Could try another one as these two were lying about.

2 DSL lines through a load balancing router then a Netgear Unmanaged Gigabit switch to pc, server, Netgear Nighthawk wireless access point, Vodafone Suresignal and other switches. Wired to Roku from first gigabit switch which works fine , but I had hoped to put another switch by the Roku to use...
