  1. Awesome video... really helped me in setting up my Thecus W4000. I upgraded to 8 gigs of RAM and have a Pair of 4 gig NAS drive and then based off your recommendation got two of the Hitachi 3 gig drives. Keep doing what you are doing.
  2. My WD Solution actually gets Gigabit Speeds. Yours is set at 500 Kbps .. Maybe it's just somewhere in the settings.. Not sure. Because if you join two Gigabit Connections and that's what you get? No.. that shouldn't be
  3. I really, really enjoyed this video. I heard the same thing about Hitachi Drives. I just.. just.. I think in November or so bought 2 WD Red's (4 TB each) that were quite a bit more expensive. According to what I read they aren't really better than those Hitachi you're using. Well.. live and learn I suppose.
  4. Awesome video brother! You are right about Google putting the screws to us!!
  5. Highly interesting video. I do have a hitachi in my external drive. In my NAS I do have the WD Red's. I thought those were the best. Good to know because the Hitachi's are cheaper.
  6. Interesting Video Fred :-) Happy New Year Fred to You and your Family...All the Best for 2017 :-)
  7. Most of this is way over my pay scale, but good to know about the Hitachi drives.
  8. Super boring video. But thumbs up for all
    your hard work. Appreciate it.
    Edit: I watched the whole thing.
