I have learned that not all machines are built the same. What appears to
have a serial port, may be a USB to Serial converter built on to the
motherboard. It took a lot of digging to find that out. I also know that
there are a lot of USB 2.0 implementations that are below the threshold of
tolerance for continuous use.

If you only need it for serving files, investigate a NAS. If you have DBF's,
find one you can turn off the delayed write cache on the partition you put
those on. 

Windows 8.1 is still getting tweaks and patches, and will soon be updated to
Windows 10 as the free update.
