That was fast! Thank you very much!

Would it be possible to change my username to: daanodinot Thanks in advance.

Unfortunately, the power adapter of my USB to SATA converter is no longer working, so I'm trying to find a replacement power adapter. I think I've found a matching replacement adapter, but I don't trust myself enough with electronics to try it with my hard drives before asking. My USB to SATA...

http://www.seagate.com/products/enterprise-servers-storage/nearline-storage/archive-hdd/#features Hehehe, I'm sure you meant cheap 8TB hard drives designed for NAS usage right? ;) But seriously, whoa, this is surprising. Especially the price is crazy. I've just bought the 6TB Red drives, so...

I'm sorry, I meant PMR (I updated my post) as the conventional technology. PMR is still used by 8TB, so might be suitable for desktop. In any case, you're right that cheap 8TB drives might well be a few years off, although that still leaves me wondering why WD pulled it off so quickly with 6TB...

According to this article the real challenge begins only at 10TB. 8TB is already shipping to specific customers and can make use of the conventional technology (PMR). This means 8TB might actually be on the horizon for consumers, as I understand it...

If the time between the 4TB and 6TB release is any indication, the 8TB release will be pretty soon, but has WD given comment about when the release will be? Even if it's in 2014 or 2015? I'm considering upgrading my 4TB drives in my NAS to 6TB and using the existing 4TB as backup. But if the...

Hmm... All I can say: [your username]. ;P

I've just bought a WD Elements Portable 1TB drive, and it's a great drive except for that fact that it doesn't work very well with my Xtreamer MK1 media player. I bought the drive especially for the Xtreamer since I wanted a portable drive to accompany a portable media player so it's a shame...

I'm looking for an adapter (just one!) that splits a stereo input to 2x mono and subsequently converts both mono's to stereo. It must receive the stereo input with a 3.5mm plug and output the 2x stereo with 2x 3.5mm sockets. Is such an adapter available, or will I have to go for a combination...

OK, so I think I figured it out. I've found two suitable adapters on eBay, for option 1. Would these do the job...

Hi LaCie, thanks for your help. I'm afraid to say, the drive is probably dead. I decided to remove the case (the warranty has long been expired) and connect it to a PC that offers an external SATA connection: this didn't work either. I might try another SATA connection, but suffice to say, if...

Hi, I was wondering if it is possible, and if so how, to convert a left channel to stereo and a right channel to stereo. There are basically two ways to do this connection: OPTION 1 L 1/4-inch jack socket to stereo and R 1/4-inch jack socket to stereo: L 1/4-inch jack socket -> ? -> L/R RCA...

Hi, It seems that I'm unable to view my previous posts. I tried both methods in the sticky thread, but without any luck. - When I follow method 1 and go to "Threads" -> "See all", all I get is an empty table. - When I follow method 2 and go to "Profile" -> "My page" -> "Access to the whole...
