Seagate reveals storage roadmap showing 20TB drives by 2020
100TB hard drives are now in sight
Delete the Windows.old Folder and Save Space (Again)
To keep on the safe side, Microsoft's install setup saves a full copy of your current Windows installation (that's the Windows.old directory right there), and while this will come handy in case something goes wrong or you need to revert back, it will also occupy several gigabytes of precious storage.
Before changing its name to Seagate, the hard drive manufacturer was known by what name?
Storage Technology Corporation?

Corsair Neutron NX500 400GB Review
The Neutron Series NX500 is Corsair's latest entry into the high performance SSD arena, comes in 400GB or 800GB capacities, both using the half-height half-length form factor. So how does it fare?
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.
