Multimeda Hard Drive - LaCie LaCinema Classic
Want to watch lots of tv and d/l movies with subtitles - and this looks great.
LaCinema Classic 1TB http://www.amazon.co.uk/LaCie-301397...3882581&sr=1-2 Anyone used one or know anything similar?? Would be good to have WiFi but looks such a good little gadget.. any thoughts or alternatives? I've got Amazon vouchers so have to purchase from that fine establishment... thank you |

it doesn't bother me as all my avi files are generally divx or xvid avi files - rarely anything else.
just going to use it so we can get rid of our dvd collection and store our movies/tv shows and pics on something. I really like the look of it and the price too. Going to get me one I think. |

Western Digital WD TV + 1TB USB Hard Drive would be a better option as it plays more formats.

From what i've heard you can use a USB Hub to run more than one USB drive at once.
The Software looks very nice too. |

I've gone for the LaCinema Classic - it may not be the most innovative - but for my needs which is just basically putting all my dvd collection in avi (divx/xvid format) onto it with subtitles- it's perfect for me.
It looks pretty and is meant to be easy to use, will also be good for jpeg viewing and my videos when i convert them to avi. All in all you get a good amount of HD for your money anyway. Will let you know what its like. By the way - I saw a review on the WD one that said it struggles with Xvid/Divx files - so that really put me off - especially as that is pretty much all the type of files I have. |
