Thanni.com,

JJ has your PC got an eSATA socket ?

Errrrrrrrr......... maybe,


What's that then?

[Norton]

What's that then?

Looks like this.

[Thetyim]

The one that Norton linked to has a transfer speed of 6GB/s and needs a motherboard that will support that speed with an eSATA socket.

If you only have USB sockets then go for a 3GB/s

[jandajoy]

Right ho.

No I haven't got an eSATA from the look of things.

So 3gb/s it'll be.

Phew, thanks again. That could have been a tad embarrassing.

Where's "up here"? You really can't get a 2TB external? In Chiang Mai at least I'm sure they have the 2TB Western Digital MyBook in at least one of the shops at Panthip (the one that sells professional video and audio kit). If they haven't, I'm sure they can order for you, they're all over Panthip BKK.

More than likely.
I have to mail order or special order a lot of things.

I managed to buy a litescribe DVD writer but had to special order the disks for it.

Yeah as Tukom here in Pattaya is complete shite I mostly deal with InvadeIT, Thomas the guy who owns the place is a decent standup guy...

He has helped out a few times, even offering to sourcing stuff from the US for one of watercooled setups.

Fantastic service to, If I buy on a Monday (and transfer the coin to their account at the same time) I will have it sitting on my office desk by lunchtime Wednesday.

I believe the appropriate phrase is "ouch".



Oh, if you want a price guide:

Try JIB Computers, they may have a store in your area.
You can see pricing here (scroll down):
J.I.B. COMPUTER GROUP

If no JIB store in your area, have a Thai help you with ordering one. A good firm & competitive pricing.

Ok, many thanks to all of the above.

I've ordered from InvadeiT and look forward to getting the package soon. Excellent.

Once I've got my 2tr then all movies get dumped on to it. Nice.


But..... My USB equipped DVD player ( 600 baht from Macro) won't accept more than a 4 gb usb input.

Whilst it's no major hassle to drop the evenings entertainment onto a 4gb thumb stick it would be very cool to plug in the mega drive and not have to get out of bed for a week......

Does this mean I need a new DVD player?

[Nostradamus]

Does this mean I need a new DVD player?

You need a media player. Your HDD will plug straight in and you can play anything.

There's a few on the market; Popcorn Hour, HDi Dune, eGreat, Asus ePlay, WD TV, AC Ryan, Xstreamer etc. Prices to suit all budgets.

The best two IMO are the Popcorn Hour C-200 or the HDi Dune Pro but they are of course the most expensive!

[Norton]

You need a media player.

Saw one in my local PC shop. Believe it was an Asus ePlay. Without drive 4,500 baht. Looked like just the ticket for JJ.

[Gerbil]

Be warned. I've had a lot of issues with large capacity hard disks overheating and dieing here.

Can sometimes get them replaced under guarantee, but your data is gone, unless you've backed it up to *another* hard disk.

[jandajoy]

Hmmm, a media player eh?

I shall investigate.

I presume such a device will plug into any old TV. ?

[Butterfly]

I found in Europe a lot of nice and cheap media player, HD mostly, and below 4,000 THB

Should do unless the TV is really old.

Splendid, thanks again to one and all.

If you get good service from InvadeIT, you can buy media player from them.
