Good day guys,
I'm planning to purchase my first NMT soon at the same time my first external HDD.
So I have a few questions
I'm currently eyeing the WD 1TB(seemingly the popular choice) or Astone 1TB
1) Does having eSata and firewire matter? Which NMT's support this type of connection and is it really faster?
2) Which one operates cooler?
TIA
i think you should go with wd, i had some non pdvd friends who complain of their astone hdd, which broke down for one reason or the other.
as for esata, if your pc has this connection then it can help in transferring files, and yes, its really faster than the usual usb 2.0.
as for using it on the nmt. if the nmt has an esata connection, it only helps in the transfer of files and not the actual watching (although i am not too sure about this).
