Frankly, from my point of view, they should look for other miniature fan suppliers out there and fix the damn fan noise rather than charge the customers to buy that heatsink.

Actually, if you use that large heat sink, there is no point in using the internal fan as the air will not circulate at that area anymore.

The fan is originally use for the smaller heat sink so that can go through the fins to cool it down.


err...my point is do a design change or part change rather than ask the costumer to buy another heat sink...

Now I know the Xtreamer is picky with files...

Then ac to WDTVlive

He should have measured the db as well since it is one of the annoyance item in Xtreamer....of course the one with the heatsink only with fan off should win....but what abt the others?

I cannot comment on MKV oledi...afterwards kena 3 days vacation again...haha

Ok..got it

Thats funny, Maddy FHD is easy to play, have you tried other files yet?

Actually, for me...720p is good enough, 1080p is too big file ut not much difference, but BDISO is stupendously huge and over-glorified.

But thats just me....cabut...haha

I really dunno what the RMVB fuss is all abt...I never needed RMVB....but last week i went into a Jap AV prawn site...hehe...now i know why RMVB is so important..haha

I tot you were into Dune

When gonna buy new media player?

Samsung F3 is a high speed model...and dispense a lot of heat (but WD Blue and Black worst).
I know, I'm using one...and for a media player...no point getting a super duper high speed HDD.

The best so far is Samsung F2 (Eco version) 1.5tb....but the 2tb is getting more popular cos' of the price.
So far I've been using Hitachi..but now, I find myself with lots of Samsung F2 around. Even my 2.5inch HDD (I've 4 Hitachi) also beginning to change to Sammy.

Bro...it died inside the Xtreamer Pro....or...you put it outside like on a table etc.

Have you tried TestDisk? Works most of the time
http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk
But you will have to rename the files again....better rename than downloading.

been there, done that...and nope, it didn't work for me.

Try this:

But you have to rename the files again....most recovery software is same...but its gonna take you a few hours to recover if your drive is huge

This swear by FraMeSToR huh?

Cons with External HD?...

Well..only minor...
1) Need additional Plug point (if you are using 3.5inch external HDD)
2) More wires to arrange nicely
3) Depending on HDD casing...sometimes more current usage.
4) Additional space to put it.
5) Be extra careful if you have kids..they might drop it.

Video playback is all good..I recommend Samsung G3 external.

Depends yuka..KL prices are more competitive.

Not sure bro, but 2Tb not picking up....most opt for 1.5TB

most see it like this...between 1 to 1.5TB need to add RM50....but between 1.5 to 2 need to add RM70...
Thats not including the movies inside

But in actual

Actual size:------Diff-------RM----Per GB price
931 (1TB)-------------------230----0.247046187
1396 (1.5TB)-----465------280----0.200573066
1862 (2TB)-------466------350----0.187969925

Price is estimate only

2Tb is the cheapest per GB...but the Price of RM350 turns down most ppl

Yeah..external HDD...only dlers buy internal...most ppl go for externals.

Wow, samsung so slow huh...did a RMA for WD 1~2 weeks get oledi...but most of my drives are Sammys.

List?..sure bro..
