Can i use the etrayz with the Egreat?

nbc

[Verbl Kint]

Have the prices changed (please post them here)?  Also, is it a lot better now as opposed to the initial scathing reviews?

[nbc]

Same concern here...

I read some bad reviews, but this was circa late 2009 to early 2010.

Some okay reviews after that.

Current etrayz users... please chime in on how your unit is working now...

yes sir, im using m34a and all my files are in etrayz, this was my setup after i got the etrayz, 1st batch from sir bitstream, so far its been fine, im running it almost 24/7, may times na nagha-hang pero nasanay na rin ako

[daigoro]

my etrayz has been stable now for a year now. most of the networking bugs have been fixed when the last firmware was released. 

[straker]

How fast (mbyte/sec) does the file move or copy between Etrayz and PC? I was hoping the firmware updates improved it...

thats my problem also, I am only getting around 3-4MB/s transfer rate. It takes hours to transfer large files...

My etrayz is still running. However I think I corrupted the OS data on the etrayz. I tried installing a 2nd HD and installed it as linear mode. When I removed the 2nd HD, the problem started. I get this message "It can not be used because data area has not mount"

I tried connecting the HD to my imac via USB but the format cannot be read. Can I still retrieve the media files in the HD if I connect it to a Windows PC?

Thanks!

wow really that slow ? sayang dapat nilagyan nila ng usb slave port to para pwede direct connect sa pc pag transfer na. Medyo show stopper sa akin yung 3-4mb/s since puro remux and bd iso ang mga download ko dito then move ko sa ibang raid server

bro kaya ba as NAS to HTPC, mga 1080p movies streaming?

Yup, that slow ;d copying a 5gb files takes around 15minutes.

Kaya naman bro, may konting delay lang sa umpisa....parang " buffering" mode.

[ninjababez®]

thanks sa reply bro.
problema ko lang pagdating sa multiple access like 2 computers at the same time, malamang choke 

[gunblade977]

Tried it with 720p content accessed with an htpc and an xtreamer... Nagplay naman without any probs. Pero 1 movie lang, baka yung hdd ang bumigay dahil sa pagtalon talon between movies :d

[comet]

hi comet thanks for sharing. 


may volunteer ba dyan na pwede mag demo ng etrayz nila?
sana turuan narin ako pano mag torrents via etrayz

[yygoob]

was this done thru the wired gigabit lan? o thru wireless?...was hoping na mabilis kung thru lan...thanks

[iiinas]

no problem with 720p materials, but with lags on 1080p on wireless. using a wrt610n router.

brader,

may problema ako, i have upnp and dlna on my ipad 2 and galaxy tab, how come when i use it it sees my etrayz, but when i open my folders, it empty, i have already set the etrayz folder to share but still no contents are showing, would love to be able to play music and simple avi videos on the ipad and tab would be cool.

any thoughts?

thanks.

how about in copying files from nas to pc? ilang MB/s thanks

if wireless, mabagal. a typical 4gb file will take around 30 minutes.

Sorry for the late reply, ngayon ko lang ulit nabisita yung thread. Ano gamit mo na player on your ipad ? Hindi ko pa natry yung setup mo pero pede ko subukan over the weekend. For movies gamit ko air video, pero dumadaan pa sa htpc the to etrayz. Subukan ko setup yung vlc kung kaya nya.

Pede nati idemo dito brader;)
Tapos torrents pede mo na rin monitor via web. May sariling dns provided ang etrayz eh.

Kahit wired sir mabagal, using teracopy application nasa 6 mb/s lang. Not sure kung saan ang bottleneck, baka sa etrayz mismo kasi nag upgrade na rin ako sa gigabit router minimal to no i provement. AFAiK , hindi pa gigabit ang etrayz eh

Update:
Gigabit LAN na pala etrayz, will have  to check kung gigabit lan cables gamit ko, parang nabasa ko somewhere mas maraming "connected" wires in order for gigabit to work?!.

[ninjababez®]

thanks bro.  one of these days dalaw ako dyan sa south.

btw maraming NAS ang may bandwidth issues, ayon sa mga nabasa ko.
kaya hanggang ngayon external HDD parin tapos laptop yung host via usb lahat ang setup ko.

same bandwidth sya with my HTPC using private trackers. I get around an average of 160KBps. BTW, I am not using the default torrent client pre installed with etrayz. Transmission yung gamit ko na client.

Let me know, pag kelan ka punta

i have my eTrayz for almost 2 years, function has been stable ... the only issue I had with the initial setup was the accessibility of eTrayz over the Internet, but this was due to the modem setup provided by PLDT - was able to correct this after several tweeks found in the Internet

I have my eTrayz wired on a Gigabit Ethernet network using Linksys WRT310N wireless-N router ... the only other device I have wired is my TVIX NMT player, I also have an Xtreamer NMT connecting to it via wi-fi, my PC, laptop, and Archos tablet connects to the eTrayz via wi-fi

Playing 1080p files from eTrayz to my TVIX NMT with the wired Gigabit Ethernet is like having the disk connected to the player directly, no issues at all ... cannot do this however from my Xtreamer, PC, and Archos, as significant lag is noticeable ... no issues however with SD and 720p videos over wifi on all the devices I use to play video.

Regarding file transfer speed, I usually transfer files from my desktop PC to the eTrayz over wifi-N ... i've pasted screen shots below for your reference ... the speed is quite satisfactory ... in the screenshots shown below, the speed is approx. 8+ MB/s for transferring files files from eTrayz to PC, and 6+ MB/s for transferring files from PC to eTrayz


PC to eTrayz over wireless-N, ~6.28MB/s ... takes around 30 minutes to transfer 10.8GB file


eTrayz to PC over wireless-N, ~8.62 MB/second ... takes around 10 minutes to transfer 4.37GB file

Note that I have my eTrayz at ver. 1.07 firmware

i haven't tried transferring file using wired connection, but if i have time later, i'll try it with my laptop and post the screenshots here

regarding those getting speeds significantly lower than what i posted (somebody posted just getting 2MB/s) ... also try updating the driver of your NIC (wifi or wired) ... i've noticed that when i was using the default driver from Windows 7, the transfer speeds were also low, when I installed the updated drivers from the manufacturer, speed improved significantly

thanks bro, i never thought using generic windows driver would hurt transfer speeds

Thanks for the info sir. Hopefully makuha ko rin yung transfer speec mo pag naupdate ko na drives.
