  1. Connected external SSD to Laptop through USB adapter and now the main internal harddrive...


    So I wanted to use a different Boot device with my laptop than the internal without opening it up, so I connect my SSD to my SATA to USB adapter, turned it on, switched to USB boot on the Boot manager by pressing f12 repeatedly and it Worked!! But when I wanted to use the original INTERNAL drive, I disconnected all other USB devices just to make sure nothing would interfere with the boot... But the ORIGINAL drive wouldn't move on from the windows 11 loading-up screen... Help?It's a Dell Insprison laptop by the way

    Connection drops with USB Wifi adapter

    Hi everyone, since my laptop if far from my NetGear access point, I bought an external USB Wifi Adapter with antenna and it reaches very well my AP. Ookla Speedtest says the same speed as the wire connected devices. The problem is when the download speed reaches its maximum rate (about 9 / 9.5 MB/s): the adapter stops downloading, ping to the router fails and the wifi icon on the tasktray turns into the world icon (no connection). I have to unplug the USB adapter and replug it or disconnect the wifi connection and reconnect it to have it working again. If i take my laptop near the AP and use the internal Wifi connection, it doesn't happen, it never disconnects. I made a try with another laptop and the problem is the same. I think the problem is the wifi adapter, I already sent back it to Amazon and bought another one, with no luck. The chipset of the USB adapter is Realtek 8812BU. My Windows version is Windows 10 Pro 21H2 (build SO 19044.1415). Do you have any suggestion? Thanks

    Internal USB 3.0 to external USB 3.0

    Not sure where to post this....
    I have a case that has 1 USB 2.0 and 2 USB 3.0 ports, a motherboard that only has external USB 3.0 support, and girls in my house that will not understand that only the USB 2.0 port works. So, I'm looking for a way to run a connector from the internal 3.0 connector from the case, out the back and plug into the 2 3.0 on the back I/O panel. I have found some on e-bay, but they are coming from China and I can't seem to find the right length that would look good as well.
    Suggestions?
    Case is a white Nanoxia Deep Silence 4 (has water cooling ports to run cables through)
    Motherboard is an Intel DH67GD (has 14 USB 2.0 ports!)
