Internal hard drive

[Hotchef]

I have seen 2 different instals on the net, 1 which is the hard drive within the frame, and the other where it is on top of the frame


which is right?


thanks

My own is mounted above the HDD cradle, allowing greater airflow around the HDD.

And mine is under the cradle, allowing the air to circulate the HDD perfectly....

Can I FTP a file (mp4/avi) to the internal HDD on solo2. And then play back through the the solo2

If so would i create a folder for these to be stored in to await playback


thanks

Yes you can!

you can also set up a share from your pc to the solo2 so you can just select the relevant file you want to play via the remote without having to ftp, there are plenty of guides and info on setting this up on here.

i find my home network is so slow to share or steam.

and to ftp is slow too when its like a 2gb file

can you connect mac-solo2 via lan cable ?

or is there a faster way?

Sata II or Sata III ?
That is the question. I would like to know if I will see much benefit from the faster speed.

[Rob van der Does]

Nope, you won't.

Sorry, I meant to say *any* benefit. At twice the read speed, perhaps populating the list of recorded files would be quicker for example? I've never seen either so only speculating but can't help but wonder why VU+ made the solo2 to support sata III.

Because sata III is a new selling point for HDDs, doesn't mean any E2 box can read/write to it any faster.

[Rob van der Does]

The (lack of) speed of any (e)SATA-HDD is not a limiting factor at all.

Without wanting to hijack the thread - has anyone squeezed a 3.5inch hard drive into one of these yet?

[mousedown]

Didn't think there was room. Got loads of 3.5s knocking about, will try,
