I believe so. I'm using the biggest hard drive available today (seagate 1.5TB) so im pretty sure pwede yung smaller capacity hard drives.

hey joms, nice gadget you have. it's better than external enclosure. would you happen to know if there's a gadget where you can put more than one hard disk? it would be nice to have a gadget which can accommodate several harddisk drives for future additions.

Si richie ng ehome meron nitong dual slot. 6k yata damage kaso wala daw dito sa hongkong yata nya nabili.

milken · « **Reply #36 on:** Nov 10, 2008 at 01:25 PM »

medyo mahal kung 6T for two slots. it's much cheaper to buy 2 external enclosures+hdd or 2 mybooks for instance. there must be a cheaper solution. i've heard of servers hosting 8 to 10 harddisk drives. i'm not sure if this is cost-effective at the moment.

Drobo I think is about the same price as 4x1TB hard drives. Less fancy ones can be had from around $150. High speed SATA boxes with PCE interface eSATA card maybe around $200.

I think USB lang to.

Unlike the ones in Rsun which has a esata port.

Bumili pa naman ako kahapon sa RSun

Wow! Congrats brader!

Naunahan mo ako ha!

Well, I will get one also, but I have to make sure na may HD na sa Ehome. Gusto ko sana 1.5TB na!

hehe yeah go 1.5TB na! although sa US forum sites, medyo buggy daw performance ng 1.5TB in raid setups so do some research din. Yung 2x na nasa akin so far ok naman.

Also, can someone check kung yung cdrking na docking station has an esata option? Yung sa rising sun kasi may esata out and esata cables na kasama....

milken · « **Reply #47 on:** Nov 12, 2008 at 10:03 AM »

Wow, cdr king's docking station is cheap...usb nga lang. Hope they'll import one with esata option. With these gadgets, we will handle HDD like tapes. Just plug and play the ones you'd like to use.

Clondalkin · « **Reply #48 on:** Nov 12, 2008 at 10:12 AM »

Confirmed hot-swappable yung dock?

How much is the comparative price per GB of a 1.5TB compared to 1TB out there?

1TB is still the sweetest spot in Tokyo because ang daming competing hard drive makers.

yup someone actually pmd me asking about the 1.5TB seagate and i told him that i've read numerous posts in different forums saying that the 1.5TB seagate has problems specially in raid setups wherein they dont get detected sometimes, the drive crashes, etc etc. Some say that they are weak when used on video such that choppy yung video when you play it using the 1.5TB seagate. Even in amazon, 3 stars lang sya.

personally though, i havent had problems with both my internal and external 1.5TB drive. Ive watched several movies, both 720p and 1080p, in my computer using my external 1.5TB seagate connected sometimes via USB and sometimes via esata. I even copy 8GB movies from my internal drive to my external 1.5TB while watching a movie located in the external 1.5TB without any problems. Siguro i just got lucky with the drive that i got....

@joms/any other who can answer

hi just want to ask. i have the pch-a100 and i tried the my li'l movie jukebox, but after doing all that, my external dvdrom won't play any dvds anymore.

before the my li'l movie jukebox installation, if i put a dvd in the external dvdrom drive, it will just autoplay, now it doesn't.

any ideas?

jackryan · « **Reply #53 on:** Nov 13, 2008 at 09:16 AM »

I got two of the 1.5TB Seagate SATA drives and I presume that the problem is related to the operating heat it generates.

I have not personally encountered the described problems, partly because I put both 1.5TB into a NexStar Vantec dual bay enclosure with active fan which I think is sufficient enough in cooling it down during actual play with my NMT.

i use my external 1.5TB seagate on the risingsun hard disk docking station without any fan. I tried it na walang aircon din (nasira aircon sa office namin so mainit talaga) and i had no problems with it whatsoever.... *cross fingers*

1TB is still the sweetest spot in Tokyo because ang daming competing hard drive makers.

To-date, a 1.5TB is about Php 8.5k based on promo price (I think non-promo price is about Php 9k plus)
On the other hand, a 1TB nowadays can just fetch about Php 5.5k

On a per GB basis (not yet formatted basis), approximately something like 1.5TB @ Php 5.66 per 1GB and 1TB @ Php 5.50 per 1GB.

Be careful when buying this product. I just came from CDR-King Megamall Cyberzone. The dock they're selling is USB 2.0 only. No eSATA connector at the back. Same price P990.

Or is the CDR-King dock USB2 only talaga? Has anyone bought from CDR-King na meron eSATA connector at the rear?

Alfie · « **Reply #58 on:** Nov 18, 2008 at 03:35 PM »

We have a Thread on this, here's the link;http://pinoydvd.com/board/index.php?topic=88161.0

And yes, it's USB 2.0 only and for SATA 1, but SATA 2 compatible(You'll get regular SATA 1 and USB 2.0 transfer rate.

The rising sun version has eSATA but costs 1.4K.

Still a good buy and once the eSATA version lowers it's price, it won;t hurt to have 2.

jackryan · « **Reply #59 on:** Nov 18, 2008 at 04:49 PM »

Fully agree with Alfie... the CDRKing version only offers USB2.0 connection (but NO eSATA) for a SATA HD dock for 2.5" and 3.5" form factors.

On the other hand, the RSUN (RisingSun Computer Shop) version has both USB2.0 and eSATA connections for both 2.5" and 3.5" form factor SATA drives.
