Hi guys.. i have about 5TB of .mkv movies that are spread over four SATA Hard drives. Is there any method of storing these hard drives (plus a few more in the future probably) in a way that my PC can access them all at once? Something that can swap in/out hard drives often would be ideal...doesn't have to be hotswap...coldswap will be fine.
Currently i am using a cheapo hard drive dock that allows me to hookup only one drive at a time.
Storing these drives internally is not an option as these drives are occasionally shared with my dvico player in the other room so opening cases often would be a hassle. tq

5670->Asus HDAV1.3 is the correct way to go...
pass video and sound to the receiver via a single hdmi cable...

QUOTE(paskal @ Mar 26 2010, 03:04 PM) so you're saying he should put the output from the 5670 to the Asus HDAV1.3? yes..that is one of the standout features of the HDAV 1.3 able to get video from the gfx card..then output TOGETHER with the sound via hdmi *thumbs up* |

Silverstone ATX LC20B-M is overkill.... Silverstone KL01 or KL02 allows for 5 hard drive bays and is about RM400+ nia... hot swap is elite! *thumbs up*  This post has been edited by yonggoh: Mar 30 2010, 04:17 PM |

QUOTE(xcen @ May 5 2011, 12:52 PM) Hi HTPC pros! I have a question to ask. I'm considering a HTPC setup but the trick is i need to use the COMPUTER AND watch TV at ANOTHER SCREEN at the SAME TIME! For example, can i watch youtube, play starcraft on my 22" monitor while another person watch Harry Pottery (that is stored in the samecomputer's hard drive) on a 42" plasma tv that is booked up to the same computer's graphic card. Oh and there must be 2 speakers working independantly. a cheapo media player could be the much more straightforward solution to your requirement... but yea, i dunno how to execute this via a PC |
