Vantec External dock is OK for the media player...but when I use it for copy/paste files on the computer...seems like slow...now I use a 'naked' external hardrive...but I tape up the PCB board everything so that dun get electrocuted..

why you tape PCB la.. 12V can't kill you..

can kill the HDD...

got waranty mah..

Because the bottleneck is in the USB, if your PC support Esata then it'll be very fast

which is annoying cos quite alot of PC doesn't have hot plug sata/esata function.. so you need to reboot everytime you change or disconnect HDD..

Oh like that....can this do the hot swap?

read the fine print..

FAQ
About the SATA Hot Swappable HDD Cage
The SATA back panel didn’t have any chip or micro processor, It will require motherboard or SATA raid card to enable the hot swap and Raid features.

ur files also terbang ...

I dunno why, my house, anything metallic has some current in it...like Laptop metal parts, HT, DVD Player, Media player...etc..sometimes kena a bit of current on the hands.

Thanks for the heads up on the fine print. Suppose ATE and KAROM selling it.
So I should get the hotplug sata card, to plug in the HDD in the EX-H34B instead on direct onto the mobo?

my also, especially the ASTRO, BD player and AV receiver. seem like the elec current are via component wire.

Could be the electrical grounding for that particular circuit got problem. Better get an electrician to check...unless you don't mind getting sot, which won't kill you

I believe this is being generated by a bad cable and there is some leakage in ur whole system, typically I would suspect that the leakage is occuring from the Astro video cable that is being hooked up to ur display. Also I would think that ur display is also hooked up in another input/output to the aVR and to other equipment, so u r getting leakage to ur other components. When u touch the metallic components u are essentially providing a ground loop that allows the electricity to flow and u get the "shock". Check ur cables, one of ur cables is bad. Also ground the Astro well. This is normally the cuplrit. Bad sat cable wiring...

Thanks for the info...I will try off the electrical system and on it one by one to see what is the main culprit.
I think Isolation is the best method to find the root cause..thanks

so how much this asus
