#164344 Have you had experience disconnecting external HDD?

That is correct, try changing the connector from cable select to Master and that should disable the power saving mode. Most hdd have that ability.

the whole eco friendly thing was created for the hibernation feature that pcs use. not to many people actually use it.

First rule of thumb. How long have you owned this drive? What im about to tell you voids warranties since you need ro open the enclosure. This is more or less a last attempt. This makes the drive read as a primary master wjich disables spin down on most drives

On a harddrive by where the sata connections are there is a little 4 to 8 prong selector

the drive should show u what the settings are sometimes its printed directly on the circuit board. it needs to be set to master most or the time in externals there isnt a pin connector with the drive which makes it defalt to cable select in which we dont want.

Sorry about not direct linking the picture im on a cell phone typing this

Okay on a power supply whats the sata power cables voltage. 12v. Im providing him with this information to give him the best chance of success of getting the drive to stay powered on as well as providing fastest write speeds for the drive and quality of performance.
When u run a drive at 10v you forfeit the drives write and read speeds the drive also runs at a lower rpm in order too accommodate for the voltage loss when a sata drive is put in sata 6 and or slave mode or masters on a 10v circuit the drive runs the risk of not maintaining a proper reading speed thus showing it being disconnected. On a 12v circuit the drive speed maintains optimal read and right speeds all hdd are built for 12v

As for the hdd with yhe built in usb connector I believe its called pdi or something for those there is nothing that can be done but those should work no matter what since its built with that in mind

#163648 Can the Wii U support Frostbite 2

and if im not mistaken, its my understanding that (basically without going into the details and specs) the Wii U's gaming performance is going off of its GPU primarily than the CPU, correct me if im wrong though... The gpu in the Wii U is actually quite nice and powerful.

you are quite correct being that they are both built into eachother

#163504 Can the Wii U support Frostbite 2

Just putting this out there for people that think 8 core processors at 3.4 are better that 4 core processor at 3.4 clock speed doesn't have direct impact on processors functionality if a 8core has 1mb of L2 and L1 cache and a four core has 16 for each level the four core can process at around three times faster than the eight core. People stop thinking that a faster core produces faster better outcomes cause that's not the factor. I'm guessing you never built your own computer before

#128829 Wii U Disc Media.

Posted by Zonark on 13 November 2012 - 04:17 PM in Wii U Hardware

This has been a question of mine for some time now. The finished Media for the Wii U was stated to be a blu-ray based. Does the media go under the same build processing as regular blu-ray. As in is it smudge scratch and finger print resistant. Basically just wondering if they are as durable
