I'm posting here instead of the Workstation area because in that area I could not get it to accept a "Topic" We have a fairly new Precision 3660 tower purchased last year.  Any guess if it will likely work with a 16TB SATA drive from Seagate or WD? The user guide lists 8TB "enterprise" SATA

My Dell 7820 only runs 4 sticks of 3200 ram 32g clocked as 2933. If I put ram 5 and/or 6 in it, it won't bios. I get "Bios repairing flash", then a constant "no ram flash."

Hi, I purchased an OptiPlex 7020 micro format, specifically Intel® Core™ i5-14500T vPro, and when I received it I saw that I need another Displayport or a USB-C monitor (I know I can put 2 monitors on the DP that comes, but I do not want to do that).

I have just purchased a refurbished XPS8960 with 64gb ram, which I expected to be quite a fast machine. However, from pressing the "On" switch, to getting to the stage where I can actually use the computer, it takes 7 mins 30 secs.  Is this normal?It is also very noisy with the hard drive (I a

So my “liquid cooling” pump broke exactly 1 month after my (1 year) warranty expired. (Part Number is 92KFV, thank you @redxps630).
