In case anybody actually cares, Toshiba officially announced that they are bailing on HD-DVD this morning at 3am EST. |
ya got word of the press conference 2 days before they were set to announce 5 pm local time in Tokyo. Hence what I mentioned about "the war is over" |

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! |

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:nervous: |
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. |

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'. |
