Thanks for the replies. Yes, I know about Macrium Reflect, MiniTool, EaseUS, Windows' built-in backup tool and a host of others. I have to get up earlier than usual tomorrow. So saying good night. I'll check the thread again later.

Basically yes. Although it's more likely to be used for the basic Windows installation without drivers, programs, settings, etc. To continue with my reference to Norton Ghost: I used it for both basic Windows installations and for everything - drivers, programs, settings. With the hardware of...

Can you please share your preferred method of backing up a Windows 10 installation to a bootable USB drive? I know there's a ton of information out there and I've read some of them. What I'm asking for is your personal experience and preference in terms of speed, ease of use and restoration...

Thanks for the reply. I have no intention of buying such drives at this time. It's more like gathering background information for future reference. Thanks for the link too. Seems no one in that thread has experienced or heard about any early catastrophic failure of such drives so far.

Inexpensive re-branded "Indian" SSDs like those from EVM, Ant Esports, Zebronics, etc. have been around for some time. Is anyone here using or have used them? Can you share your experience, not only about performance, but also about reliability and durability?

I was already of that opinion but didn't say so in my opening post because I didn't want to clutter it. In fact, I started to type something like "On the other hand, imposing such conditions to protect themselves may not sound customer-friendly but could be taken as an indication that they are...

Because they have an item I want at a considerably lower price than the average market price. Now hold on. I'm a seasoned buyer and never make a rash purchase based solely on price. I'm also a patient shopper and often make substantial savings (like 20-30%) without being scammed. I'd be...

Does anyone know about jetlaptechnologies.com? They seem to specialise in custom-built PCs but also sell parts. Their location is given as Nehru Place. I've gone through their T&C but didn't read every single word. The impression I got was that their terms are self-centric rather than...

I don't have one to sell but if you're interested in buying a new one, here's a new one at a reasonable price. I bought it earlier this year and it's working fine. https://www.amazon.in/gp/product/B0BGJXLHPP/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 It's dual compatible with SATA and NVMe...

I need a few microSD cards for projects that involve data sizes from a few MBs to a few GBs. Unfortunately, low capacity cards are practically non-existent online nowadays. Buying multiple cards of 32-64GB feels wasteful. Some devices don't even recognise them. So, if you have some low-capacity...

I bought an Asus Prime B450M-A II for my son last year for use with a Ryzen 7 5700G. It needed a BIOS update to run a 5000 CPU but I could do it easily with the 5700G fitted. There was no POST display before the update but the update process doesn't need that. I bought two more of the same...

Thanks for the quick reply. Will check it out.

I'm in the process of re-organizing and trimming my data in preparation for moving to a new computer with all-new all-SSD storage. It will run on Windows 10. Over the past 25 years or so, I've accumulated a lot of files backed up by dumping the contents of a directory to a backup folder marked...

Thanks, fellows. The impression I had was also that the Xiaomi is the name they give to their premium line. Of course it wouldn't be fair to compare a 50k TV to a 100k model. But many people either can't afford the top brands or don't know or care about the difference.

Does anyone know the difference between Redmi and Xiaomi series of TVs? Since their debut in India in 2014, I've bought nearly 100 phones and more than a dozen TVs from the company. These are for friends and relatives and I don't make a profit from them. Now they are offering Redmi and Xiaomi...

WTH? That's the most ridiculous T&C I've ever heard of. The sender should be able to send a piece of rock and claim the insured amount if it's lost in transit.

Check your PM box.

I saw that earlier. 3.1k + shipping is too much when a brand new one is available for 3.55k shipped.

Looking for a Raspberry Pi 4 Model B 1 or 2GB. It's for a one-off experiment so I'm looking for a used one to minimise expenditure. Online price of new ones are about 3.5k for 1GB, 4.2k for 2GB shipped. Please keep that in mind when making offers. I may also consider an RPi 3B if the price is...

No, I don't have a HAM licence but I think it's only a desirable attribute rather than an essential requirement. I applied for a free receiver a few years ago. I have a lot of experience in electronics and they seemed to be satisfied with that. The problem at that time was that the view of the...
