A TSer asks: Do I really need an SSD?
TSer Cycloid Torus is wondering how much he would benefit from buying an SSD. He doesn't need a speedy boot-up, but his current drive does load Fallout 4 levels painfully slow, raising the suspicion that it might be time to upgrade. Can he expect a performance boost anywhere else? Maybe it's best to go hybrid?
A TSer asks: Backup software to selectively store/sync portions of a drive?
Long-time TS forum moderator SNGX is looking for software that can incrementally or manually back up certain directories (movies, TV, music, photos) to specific locations (essentially syncing say I:\Movies to F:\Movies etc.). The goal is syncing files that are scattered across several drives to a single one. Allway Sync n Go has been suggested -- do you have any experience with that?

QNAP TS-1635 Review: Quad-core ARM-based, 16-bay NAS
I've been trying to get my hands on QNAP's new quad-core, 16-bay TS-1635 ever since it was announced. Marketed as a cost-effective business NAS, it's definitely not cheap at a little over $1,000, but looking at the competition we find QNAP is well positioned where it counts.

How would you delete a stubborn file that won't budge?
TSer Doctor Gallop has the opposite problem as Jskid: Windows refuses to recycle a downloaded video file (Chrome is closed and shouldn't be conflicting). Along with trying LockHunter, how might you handle an undeletable file?

ADATA SE730 External Rugged SSD Review
"An external SSD that can beat Samsung T3," read the title of an email that I recently received. Curious, of course, I investigated further to find that ADATA was behind the bold claim. Its purported 'T3 destroyer' was also the smallest external SSD you can buy with an IP68 rated shockproof, waterproof and dustproof enclosure.
