HAHAHA. Indeed. But there is no commercial grade NAS, only SAN. Using NAS for a serious business is like asking for trouble.

all my ripped media in uncompressed format, I really need that much storage
I use MakeMKV for ripping DVD’s and BD’s... Below are screenshots of MakeMKV with the stream selection screen for a DVD and a BD:...What he did not tell you is that authentic BD discs are encrypted using AACS, in order to rip them you need a decrypter such as Slysoft's AnyDVD or at minimum a bunch of BD+ decryption keys. You cannot expect it to just rip BD by clicking "Start"... there's a reason why film industry is packed of millionaires.
I am currently using Boxee Boxes for media playback.I failed to understand the whole point of getting all the "RAW" stuff ripped just to be played on a basic device like Boxee. There's no HDMI 1.4, poor DTS support, only plays 1080p video at 30fps maximum, 100Mbps ethernet...
I basically want a really big external hard drive. In this case, the really big external drive is the server, and the bigness comes from having several hard drives in the rack somewhere. That's the clearest way to describe what I want.-superboyac (August 30, 2011, 03:26 PM)
This kinda came at the perfect time as I have been seriously looking at getting an iPad 2 (found one for £15/Month).
Would be cool as hell if I could also control the TV with it at some point-Stephen66515 (August 25, 2011, 09:10 PM)
You are #1 for "screenshot captor" and download.com is holding #2 with the stars. My bet is, with that entry gone, more people would click directly on your link and get much better experience. Download.com was effectively stealing traffic and redirected people elsewhere.-vlastimil (August 24, 2011, 04:58 AM)
Okay what happened to 'babe of the day' forum mod's request ? Don't tell me that mod is not made yet for SMF-mahesh2k (March 08, 2011, 01:04 AM)
But, let's let that slide. As mouser said, this has degenerated to the point that there's no productivity or value from the conversation (or lack thereof).-wraith808 (March 07, 2011, 09:16 PM)
because I am concerned about the site.
I don't want to see this site brought down as so many have been by sock puppets who are unwilling to have reasoned, rational, respectful conversations and be held accountable for their words and actions-wraith808 (March 07, 2011, 08:46 PM)
Well since you choose to respect people who take covert actions than someone like me who speaks out,-lotusrootstarch (March 06, 2011, 09:39 PM)
I'd've thought a hidden identity was covert-Dormouse (March 06, 2011, 10:05 PM)
