FYI : A Home media storage product

[gobble]

Those looking for a multimedia network attached storage here is a product to consider: Thecus M3800 - Total Media Storage and Playback Device | Overview


It is available in Mumbai here: Apical.in : Thecus M3800

Just chanced upon it and thought I'd keep the members informed. Gives people more options to consider

Cheers

How much does it cost?

It looks little bigger ,but processor is better with 256 ram.

I think its not a dedicated media player like WD/PopCorn. Its an HTPC, running on Windows / Linux

Saw a media server in D-Link but it was way over budget. Still feel a PC is the best way to go all things considered like codecs, firmware updates, storage space, etc.

The best possible solution, atleast in my eyes, would be to use a PC for all the playback and consolidate all the music and other media files to a plain NAS box and make it available to every PC/Device on the network. Ofcourse, if any of the NMT's had a better GUI or an easily customizable option, I would replace the PC with one...

WD HDp is best for-
1.Price
2.size
3.codec support

As nice as it is, I'm tempted more by others like Elektron EHP-606 which has a better feature set. However, at this point in my search for the 'perfect' playback device for me, the NMT's are running second to a HTPC, largely due to interface issues...

Does anyone have an idea about the TViX HD M-6500A?

No:

mkv
srt
flac
wavpack
apple lossless
mp3 (!!!)
mov
qt
mpeg-2
m4v

The codec support is pathetically small, and this is pretty much useless except as a NAS/server, the way I see it.

Yeah good point .. guess I wasn't even thinking when I jumped on this
