Is the 4TB the max limit for eTrayz? Will I be able to install larger capacity drives, maybe 2.5TB and 4TB drives when they become available? If I by more than one, can I daisy chain them to act as one 4-Bay or 6-Bay NAS?

It's difficult to speculate on support for drives that still don't exist. That being said, eTRAYz firmware is updatable so theoretically, the manufacturer can add support for new hardware.

You cannot physically "daisy-chain" them.

Hi! Sir, maybe you could provide a bundled price for the etrayz and xtreamer media player for those who has not availed of any of the two yet. Since there are already promotions for the xtreamer and etrayz respectively.

Please check the impressions on the etrayz at the xtreamer forum. It seems there are mixed emotions regarding the product. Hopefully, could be better...

We have to be patient.  The next firmware revision is coming in about a week, I think.  Hopefully, this will solve major bugs and improve performance.

This is a product that needs to grow up very quickly.

I just read a post in the Xtreamer Official Forum, stating that the internal drives will be formatted in XFS file system. This is necessary to be able to install applications and utilities.

A review hmmm....Impression.... ;D

Let me  just share my experience.

I had my etrayz before xmass since dec. I ordered it via extreamer website and they had it shipped here. My landed cost wa arount 9k plus. Im using a 2tb caviar greenWD hard drive. Have i known there would be a problem with its LCC count i would have not purchased it, (Got it thru amazon had it shpped here). I'm in the process of controlling the LCC count as of know. Anways.....

This is my first NAS so i did not know what to expect. I'm not good with computers. I just like new gadgets to play with hehehe...

1. First i installed both hd's to the slot. So that I could set up the disks. it only read slot b at the start. I just played around with it interchanging slots until it read both slots. Then proceeded to set up.

2. i had trouble with setting up my email to work. And for me to access it thru the internet.
   I had to call my brother-in law to help me out with the settings. Router and NAS port configuration etc.....(all of this are alien to me...hhehehe)

3. But now its working already. I can share folders already. But there seems to be a 2gig limitation on sharing and uploading via the web browser. I thought i could share movie files over 2gig over the net but cant because of the 2gig limit.

4. i could stream movies via wired lan from router. but wireless streaming is a bit slow. it depends on your range/distance from the router and if its a 720 or 1080 movie.

5. copying files or movies to the nas is quite slow. 100 gig of movies takes me around 7hrs...i have more than 2tb i want to upload....its taking me forever.

I'm not really good at writing. So if you want to know more just ask. And ill try to answer your question.

At the moment cant say i'm Happy or disappointed.
As i said i did not know what to expect.  :)


Cheers,

Francis

how is the overall build of the machine itself?

am also a not very knowledgeable in this nas thing, maybe you can share settings if possible, or are these settings different per unit.

3. But now its working already. I can share folders already. But there seems to be a 2gig limitation on sharing and uploading via the web browser. I thought i could share movie files over 2gig over the net but cant because of the 2gig limit.

is this the rapidshare like gateway they are talking about? hope the limit can be increase on the next firmware.

5. copying files or movies to the nas is quite slow. 100 gig of movies takes me around 7hrs...i have more than 2tb i want to upload....its taking me forever.

did you use usb in transferring files or you are referring to transferring via wireless? would using direct lan connection improve the speed?

1. how is the overall build of the machine itself?
Very nice and compact. The fan is kinda noisy. The face/cover of the Nas is made of plastic. Sana aloy din. and there are no locks on the NAS. Pano pag wala ka. may nag trip ninakaw HD's mo eh mas mahal yun...LOL
Lights are very bright.

2. am also a not very knowledgeable in this nas thing, maybe you can share settings if possible, or are these settings different per unit.

uh...Baka pareho sa lahat ng unit. Or depends also on the router you use. kasi parang pinag tugma tugma ung mga ports atbp....  Para makapag communicate ung NAS and router and PC...

3. is this the rapidshare like gateway they are talking about? hope the limit can be increase on the next firmware.
I have not used the rapid share thing since i dont know what it is..heheheh...still experimenting.
I was talking about when you have a movie file. You click on it and you have an option to share it with a friend. The nas sends out a email with a link on it so that your friend can download it directly.
Or thes is another option you give your frind a user accoount and he can access the nas via internet. From there he can access shared public folders, from there he can download what is inside the folder.

5. did you use usb in transferring files or you are referring to transferring via wireless? would using direct lan connection improve the speed?

i used a usb connected to my pc going to wired lan to NAS.
I tried using usb copy option of the NAS but it doesent work for me. Maybe the file was to big again. Since i connected my 1tb drive. Have not tried copying with a small file. Will try asap.
I also tried copying using the extramer as the bridge but no good.

Hope this helps.....

if a brand new 2tb caviar hd is blank then yes i used a fresh blank hdd.
regarding etrayz formatting your hdd. I thinks so. coz when i was setting it up and there was a page where it sad formatting disks....it took around 3 mins to format.

and one more experience: When i was playing around with the nas. for some reason our house electricity tripped. therefore cutting the electricity to the nas. (did not have a ups at the time). When the electricty went back on. i could not access the nas already. apparently when the electricity tripped the nas or the router changes ip address. w/c i did not know at the time.  So i was in panic mode for days. To acces the nas again what i did was reformatted both my discs via my mac. so that i will have a clean disk. And set it up again. Until my brother in law told me its just natural for the ip address to change when theres a power outage. From there he set up my NAS again. now its working fine.

based on the specs of etrayz, it uses jdownloader engine ... it is what i'm using regularly for downloading from megaupload, rapidshare, and the likes on my pc ... it doesn't need seeders and maintains the speed at the max level of the internet connection...maybe you should try it to verify the download performance without relying on seeders
