Difference between WD Green 1TB vs WD Blue 1TB for Primary use”. He said, “Hello Patrick and Shannon, I’m just wondering if there is a big difference between these 2 drives. Can you use the WD Green as a main drive or should I use the WD Blue as a main drive? I’m also using Windows 10 too.
Thanks
Keep up the great work on Tekthing and I enjoy the show!

Hey TekThing staff and fans ... what are some good desktop apps for ripping music CDs besides iTunes (I've really come to dislike iTunes)? I'd like to rip my music in MP3 and higher def (maybe Flac). Thx in advance!

This episode reminds me, given that you get a real authentic micro sd card, do you guys consider it a valid trustable way to backup data? Given that they're getting ridiculously cheap and they have a small footprint and they play on almost any device ever made(and i doubt they're going anywhere anytime soon) I think it would be cool to just buy a 64gb card, put all my super critical data on it, and store it somewhere, and I can do that easily multiple times in multiple places.
