Question - how is the players progression through the game world saved? I know the character is saved by account, but like as I complete Acts, how is it saved, since it's all online (and unique servers)?

If not, you may be able to buy an identical hard drive, and swap logic boards. I've done that before. Of course, the last 4 hard drives that died on me made the mechanical s...

You can't put a single file that is 4GB. But you can have several files that combined are well over 4GB.

According to MS website, the max a FAT32 drive can be is 8TB.

Integrated video (at least used to) relies heavily on the CPU for it's processing.

Couple questions - if you're doing primarily storage, why not go with a simple NAS box? Also, why do you need 10k drives? The performance increase from 7.2K to 10K is slim, but it consumes a bit more power. Even a 5.4K drive does pretty good, I have a 3TB I use for backup, and it's fast. Or you coul...
