Most Blu-Ray players on the market are going to be dead one day as well (unless you have an upgradeable player or PS3 - which is not many of you).

Blu-Ray standard has changed so many times and is still evolving in significant ways.

not really.
profile 1.1 only allows you to play the extra features on the newer blu-ray discs. 2.0 only has an ethernet jack for software upgrades which isnt mandatory either.

i dont watch the extras and i geeve about software upgrades so profile 1.0 is perfect for me.

There's also all the interactivity associated with 2.0 (java runtime etc), the ethernet jack is to support this, its not an end by itself. I believe PiP is fully used in 2.0.

ya PiP is not something I see myself using often, though it is a better form of commentary. The ethernet jack would help too but I'd have to drag a lot of wires, or get another bridge...oh well saves me having to dispose CD-R's. Can't they just be USB? I mean there's some 2.0 for ya!

Originally posted by malek DLT doesn't give me instant access to my stuff :/ But then a NAS is very hard to upgrade when all your stuff is set in place... imagine you want 4 * 2TB in 2 years, how will you transfer those 4 * 750GB :/// What if a drive crashes and you can't find the same drive on the market anymore eeek... you need to buy at least 6-7 drives to be on the safe side

if it is NAS to NAS then no problem, but ya I know what you mean, it can be quite difficult, I am sure there is a way to do it, just have to read up how, cause I am quite sure that day will come. But at the end of the day I will still use this option to manage my data for now.

Originally posted by malek The funny thing is I was actually thinking about those tape backup we used at work... i have to look into that. Yeah i do have an old(er) computer laying around and it has 720GB in it, but RAID is what is intresting to me here and the small space that NAS is using.

Does the motherboard support RAID? If not you can always buy some RAID cards ($30-$60), and you are good to go.

Honestly OS crashes and compatibility issues are no real big deal. The only time I restart my server is after a major system update, and that never screws with the hard drives. Its such a basic system, that most development and fixes have been made already.

So for you, its really a case of size vs cost. Sure the computer you have is big, but at least you wont have to go out and spend $400+ for equipment you already 'have'.
