Another thing that really surprises me is that the #GPS stuff is driverless on #PocketPC.
I don't really understand why. Cameras, LAN adapters, non BT Keyboards, etc. all require drivers, but not the GPS stuff.
GPS uses the #NMEA standard but i find it hard to believe that support for this was baked into #WinCE.
Whatever the reason its quite convenient!

Recently I have been toying around with a lot of the old #PocketPC #GPS stuff.
There are a variety of different ways to connect to a GPS. Some connect via the Compact Flash slot, some are SDIO, some Bluetooth and others through a physical serial cable.
You also have to decide on what GPS software that you want to use and then find compatible maps.
I'm still figuring things out and it is quite finicky but when it works it is surprisingly decent!

@jacenboy Woah, Nice! 👍 There is nothing financially irresponsible about getting a #PocketPC
They are nowhere near irrelevant. They can last for days with a new battery, have TONS of apps and games and most importantly are private unlike out cellphones these days.
I really like the Axim X30. The rocker switch on the side makes it amazing for reading and scrolling through documents. It's a shame that most #PDAs eventually dropped this feature.

I bought a 16 TB #Seagate Ironwolf Pro drive and just got done installing it into my Sabrent 5 bay #JBOD.
When I turn it on it makes a strange sound and neither Disk Management nor DiskPart at the command prompt can see the drive to initialize or format it.
I don't have to do anything special to a NAS drive running as a regular non-raid HD do I?
My other four drives contain 8 TB barracudas and they have all worked perfectly fine.
Is this perhaps a bad drive?

I received my Sabrent #Jbod DAS. I got it setup and threw in a couple of 8TB drives.
What is the best way to do a #Windows 10 mass file transfer from my old usb drives?
From what I have read it sounds like Robocopy in Command Prompt is slightly faster and better than doing a standard cut and paste.
Any recommendations or tips?
