I have to stop referencing my links to Amazon:) BTW how did the Hawkings unit work out?

I have this in my SP1, since the card was introduced. The card has performed without incident and I use the SP1 quite often. http://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-Memory-Adapter--SDSDQUAN-128G-G4A-Version/dp/B00M562LF4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1425833946&sr=8-1&keywords=Sandisk+128+micro+sdxc

As @GreyFox7 stated you can use Windows Explorer to do this. I have it on my Taskbar which is still accessible in the Metro UI.

He is working on his Nuclear Physics homework. :eek:

If your unit had an optical in like the Model 8005, you would be good to go. There are a number of reasonably priced small portable external USB DACs for the SP1,2,3 that provide optical outs like the inexpensive Turtle Beach Micro II or the more esoteric( albeit more expensive) Meridian...

If you have access to a stethoscope (I don't) this might provide a more definitive evaluation on the sound's nature and source.

Understand completely. The use of a Virtual drive, which is easy to implement, remove, and re-implement, offers a safer alternative until the final version arrives. JMTC

If you seek an alternative to installing Windows 10 using hyper-V, this tutorial IMO is excellent.:

I wish there were, but I am not aware of any. The system Bios implementation is different. These 2 articles might provide some insight if you have not already discovered them: http://www.microsoft.com/surface/en-us/support/warranty-service-and-recovery/how-to-use-the-bios-uefi and...

A shot in the dark. Does disconnecting, then reconnecting the keyboard have any effect.

The way I heard it, was the tortoise beat the hare because he never stopped or "slowed down", while the hare wanted to take a break for from the intense "heat" :):D

I like viewing @sharpcolorado 's wallpapers. They provide an occasional and welcome relief from the serious side of this thread.

Great. You have probably read this before: but full charge and power connected is highly recommended when downloading and applying updates, especially firmware. In addition manual updates, are my preference. I like to have control of the process.

I like that the hawking unit also has an Ethernet port which means you have the option to connect it to your routers port and take full advantage of the link speeds.

Have you downloaded and installed all of your SP3's updates and firmware yet, or do you intend to make a backup first?

I believe the main purpose of the firmware was to restore original performance benchmarks, which had badly degraded over time, and to hopefully prevent reoccurrence of this phenomenon. The additional boosts are a bonus, especially to the write speeds

Welcome news. There is a Samsung firmware available for your unit. You can find it here: http://microsoft-news.com/samsung-releases-firmware-update-for-its-ssds-in-surface-pro-3-devices-to-improve-performance/ Your unit might already have the newest Firmware installed. It will not install if...

@GreyFox7 Yes, you are correct. It is analogous to the High End stereo equipment you see advertised in Stereophile. Outrageously expensive, for the promise of achieving " state of the art " in detail; if your hearing is good enough (mine is not). I could have purchased a less expensive one, but...

Owning an SP3 qualifies you as "young minded "at the very least.
