Nebby Posted August 25, 2010 Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 Ohh...didn't think to look on craigslist! I'll check that out and keep that on tab. TV's showing up today so I think for a while I'll be ghetto'ing it by sitting the TV and the center channel on the floor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les_Garten Posted August 25, 2010 Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 WHS doesn't use RAID, it's more of a file level mirroring that can be enabled so it works fine even with the newer drives (which make up half of the drives in it). I'm guessing you're referring to WD's decision to disable the TLER functionality? I thought that they completely disabled it on the newer drives and it wasn't accessible anymore? That's correct.

Nebby Posted August 25, 2010 Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 So are hackers having any progress re-enabling the functionality? Last I checked they were but admittedly I haven't kept up to date on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last I checked they were but admittedly I haven't kept up to date on it. Last I had read, it was hit and miss depending on the SN drive you received. It seems that the newest SN drives aren't modifiable RE the TLER function in the FW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They both are reviewed well. I'm looking for a deal on 6 2TB Sammy's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manaox2 Posted August 25, 2010 Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 I'm sick of the new trend of manufacturers using tricks to remove functionality from technology so that they can make money off of charging you more for something that was always included for free. They spent more money working on removing the features then just including them in the first place would have cost and then have the nerve to charge more for the exact same basic technology with the restrictions removed. Its abuse of the consumer to me. Way to go to the supreme court for making it clear that jail breaking devices is now officially legal. This BS needs to stop.

naamanf Posted August 25, 2010 Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 Agreed (cf. printer cartridges) How about Hitachi, is this a good deal? The first one of those I bought was DOA but so far so good with another two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nebby Posted August 25, 2010 Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 That's essentially regular pricing for the drive- you can find it for the same price on Newegg now. They hit $100 each after rebate on Newegg or Fry's every now and then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knuckledragger Posted August 25, 2010 Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 I have six Samsungs, three 1.5TBs and three 2TBs. I've been quite happy with them. They certainly have given me less of a headache than my (much more expensive) LaCies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nebby Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 Agreed (cf. printer cartridges) How about Hitachi, is this a good deal? Hitachi 2TB for $109 before MIR with coupon code EMCYWNT35. It also has a $20 rebate, though it's in the form of a visa prepaid card. If you factor that in it's $89 after rebate. The rebate expires 9/2/10.
