HD Playback & Record
The HD playback and record test now put the drive under the same single record and playback tests as before, but now at the same time. This will factor for the quick changes needed to switch between reading and writing two large blocks of data across the network to the device.
Maybe one of these years I’ll find a NAS handy but at the moment I have absolutely no use for them, I guess a lot do though.
Build your own! Actually I am working on a DIY NAS Build Guide, currently on hold for my exams, but yes I think it might appeal to you when I finally finish it. It is about building the most cost efficient NAS possible so yes..right up your street 😉
Best of luck for your exams. I haven’t written exams in years now, I think it’s because of my age. 😉
Cheers dude 🙂 yeh….you lucky old people 😛
Be patient, you’ll eventually get there. 😉
All the points are good BUT .. there is no reliable evidence that the raised temps you quote will lead to any discernable decrease in disc life (possibly over the very long term 8-10 years).
direct playback would be nice but maybe too much of a (software/copyright) can of worms?
