Please don't send me PM's about the price as I am not a reseller.

Thank you.

Ok sana yugadeals kaso first 20 lang yata kaya nila accomodate at that price. When I checked yesterday the count was already at 28. Baka di din ako mabigyan so decided to wait na lang.

pano mo malalaman kapag okay yung sa yugadeals? nagdeposit nako at confirmed na nila, ibig ba sabihin nun okay na yun?

newwaveboy · « **Reply #16 on:** Oct 21, 2011 at 07:33 AM »

I just love the stability of the old MED500X ...... this X2 model should be even better, with 1185 (which I can attest, provides a very nice PQ) & USB3.0 slave.

However, one small item that I just wish that MEDE8ER incorporate soon is a sturdy mobile HDD rack.

j0n · « **Reply #17 on:** Oct 21, 2011 at 10:07 AM »

already got the voucher from yugadeals, called the supplier at di pa daw available yung unit. will try to call them again next week.

By mobile did you mean 2.5" hdd or a hot-swappable tray? I don't suggest the hot-swappable as my player's sata connector wore down after a while. So I had to resort to usb.

newwaveboy · « **Reply #20 on:** Oct 21, 2011 at 12:46 PM »

^ Ouch, there should be SATA connectors available in some electronic shops .... or order some online, if it's worth it.

HDD mobile trays, similar to the one on the PCH C200, EGREAT R200, etc. I want this feature, more for my non-techie relatives (seniors) who'll appreciate the ease in replacing HDD's.

Also, even if docks/trays are hot-swappable, I would never recommend replacing components with power still on.

try to check status of your deposit if confirmed na. or better yet call ehome store in annapolis gh. sila yun supplier. got mine this afternoon.

j0n · « **Reply #22 on:** Oct 21, 2011 at 06:53 PM »

+1 this is true unless NAS rated yung connectors mo. same is true with docks.

most techies i know simply like their disks outside of the unit to fend off heat from disks. so eSATA/USB docks are popular to that crowd.

Other prefer that the internal disk option (removable disks) is there to begin with so if/when they need to the option is there readily.

either way, the point is to get more disks into your players if/when you need to. i personally like dual and quad docks which i can power on only when i need access to more libraries.

Med500x2 owners, enjoy your players

I've tested several times sa ehome, mas mabagal ang reaction time when clicking to any features, wala na din yung option to quickly go to a particular time ng movie by pressi the numbers in the remote, you now have to press " go to" then the time. Even them finds the new med8er slower.

toys4geeks · « **Reply #25 on:** Oct 22, 2011 at 12:38 PM »

if that's the case, can be due to the X2 UI, coz 1185 chip itself is 20% faster and cooler (temp wise) over the 1073. YAMJ pa din ba siya?

Give it time. Firmware is relatively new. As for navigation, I think you should call them and ask if there's an easier way or consult the manual. I doubt the "go to" is the only way to navigate, given Mede8er's track record.

Bro, what do you mean by "Deal has ended and then you say Deal is on"? Maybe yugadeals.com will raise by a thousand the price after the first set of units sold at 6thou. sana maging 6.5thou man lang
