    Anyone else here have/use a Dell Precision T7500 workstation?

    I got one for free and just going to mess around with it a bit. I have a spare SSD that I will be installing in it along with a 1TB HDD.

    It has a Xeon CPU with 12GB RAM, 1000w PSU and a ATi HD 6950 GPU.

    I ordered a 3.5" to 2.5" hard drive adapter that should be here today/tomorrow.

    hey guys, do any of yall have an at home cloud server or storage device? THIS is the one im thinking of. we'll be using it to move things from a MacBook, and a Microsoft computer and an android phone onto it for storage. the idea is to be able to go on trips (like out of the country) and still be able to save photos on it just in case our things go missing. any tips? Tricks? should we steer away from Seagate (ive just read not good things) is there another solution that I haven't read about that would be easy to do too?

    Just bought the 4tb single drive yesterday. So far it has been very easy to set up and use. Very little to config on it.

    I was thinking of having a certain folder that when I put something in it, it immediately syncs it with the cloud. that way it would be like choosing which ones to save without having to do too much.

    Have you thought of just getting OneDrive or something similar. With the OneDrive app on my phone it automatically syncs photos i take to OneDrive and then I can access them on my computer or via a browser.

    Interview questions - So tomorrow I'm interviewing to hire a computer repair person. This job will have to repair Apple and HP computers, iPads and printers. My expectation is they will be doing a lot of hands on work. Needless to say somebody that's afraid of a screwdriver isn't going to to be a good fit. :rofl:

    Other than the infamous "what is your greatest weakness?" question, what question/questions would you ask if you were at the interview table?
