    Re: Hard drive reliability

    You guys surprise me, where do you get such a rarity. I have this thought: why bother with old stuff when their memory capacity is small?

        **Need Help Unlocking BIOS and Hard Drive on Dell Precision 5820 Tower**
        by federalhouse
        Hi everyone,

        I'm in need of assistance with a Dell Precision 5820 Tower. The BIOS is locked with "Dell Security Manager," preventing access to the HDD-1 hard drive.


        **Background:**

        I recently purchased this Dell Precision 5820 Tower from a recycler who salvages equipment from abandoned office spaces. The computer was left behind by its previous owner and was password locked. Given that it can run Windows 11, I saw this as an opportunity to upgrade my setup.


        **What I've Tried So Far:**


        1. I accessed        ...

        Intel iMacs, 3rd party SSD failures and Fusion setups
        by reformatt
        I thought I'd throw out some of my personal experiences in the last 12 months with Intel iMacs, 2.5" SATA SSD drives and Fusion drive data recoveries.

        As a backgrounder, Apple never fitted a 2.5" SSD's to these iMacs. Apple's SSD option was a system of 32GB NVMe blade drive (NGFF connector) and Seagate 1TB 2.5" HDD, married together in software to become a Fusion drive. Non Fusion systems have just the 1TB Seagate HDD.

        So, the most common reason an iMac comes across my bench is because it's either ridiculously slow, or it fails to boot at all. The most...

        HP EliteBook Folio 1040 G2 won't detect a drive after reformat.
        by perfm2
        So I've worked on dozens of HP and Dell laptops and have never encountered this before.
        Steps taken in my usual process.
        Reset security settings in the BIOS
        Ensure existing HD comes up into the OS
        Shut down the laptop and disconnected the main battery
        Removed old M2 drive and replaced with a new 1tb Mushkin Temptest NVME drive. (I'm aware the bus is Sata III but the drive should still work at a slower speed right? Been my experience in other laptops)
        Replace battery connector and close up the laptop
        Insert my USB drive with my Windows 10 image I've...
