our red cliff from our JB kawan?

yes, no prob.. the other fella HDD come already?

thanks for the info.. I'll try it after backing up the HDD 1st..

after I backup only dare to try.. going to buy a few 1TB WD greens first this few days.. or maybe even 1.5TB seagates (no this problem rite? only the sleep mode problem)

currently the HDDs are "power off".. to preserve it's "life"

yeah, better get them soon...

I would say it fits the budget..

TVIX 7000 would be better, but then it costs like 4x more..

my normal 1Mbps streamyx can sustain 150-160kB/sec
(used to have 1.5Mpbs which can sustain 180-190kB/s but cut off that service aledi.. )
3.5G maxis (which does 1.8Mbps) can sustain 200-270kB/sec

of coz if u use P2P (like bit torrent) then your milage may vary..

Added on January 27, 2009, 4:17 pmwhat is normal MKV in your case?? izzit normal AVI DVD rip? 700-800MB rite?

I think for me, normal HD MKV is 720p with DD track so that comes out to be 4+GB per movie..

you don't know that for certain (unless you wait 5-10years from BD launch), already got BD rot on small number of discs..

my 5-8years 30-40GB drives still functioning (just left in storage drawer). my 6.4GB drive over 10years will working as well..
and my 2-3years 320GB drive, has been easily backed-up (2+hours) to my 1TB drive...
and 2-3 years from now, my 1TB drives will be backup up to my 3-4GB drive easily via USB3.0 (5Gb/s)..

it will last longer when they are not used everyday.. most of my archive stuffs (with 2nd backup) need not be powered up daily...

for archive purpose only mah... no need to powerup 5-8 external cased hard disk daily rite?

maybe you can try M2TS files with DTS-MA or LPCM lor.

you were just talking about mkv.. nothing to do with WD..

ori disc owners may also backup their expensive discs and use M2TS to playback mah,
also the forward trend is Video servers, so loading individual discs to watch a movie is a thing of the past.. or you could setup multi room system using HDD based M2TS movies..

converted from MKV to M2TS is just change the "wrapper" only (REMUX).. the codecs like H264 are still untouched on a PS3 playable file format..

so how many "baju" have you undressed?

maxtor Basics 1TB.. during promo is RM300 (PC fair) now around RM330-340 kua..... (this is KL, not sure about Penang)

is that the new model dual 500GB platter 7200.12 (supposedly no firmware issue, still too new to tell)

aiks! 7200.11 with SD15??
