Cupe Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 I had that exact drive.It died and i lost everythingThey have some fucked up powersaver shit so they start up and slow down and spin up and turn off and shit like that.They're terrible for if you're going to be accessing files off them all the time - especially music.

tubby Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 with the price of drives these days, I'd recommend buying two of whatever you get, just in case.I keep two hard drives, plus the burnt cd's of all my tracks. Also have ripped to flac all my cd albums, I'd hate to have to go and rip everything again, and even if places like beatport let me re-download, that'd be a major hassle for several hundred tracks. Extra 150 for a spare 500Gb drive seems a small price for the insurance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blodders Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 you could always get a hdd shell like this http://www.netgear.com/Products/Storage/NetworkStorage.aspxand use the dual drives to mirror each other if your worried about losing information Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DjDennis Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 just a quick one - using it for djing at home then I say get something worth whileusing a computer in your djing work in Australiaall I will say is get caught for Copyright then dont say you wasnt told that its illegal PERIODso dont come crying when you go to jail or they take all your gear away for piracy(oh I am also mixed up with the PPCA, Apra, and other copyright related companies and will report Dj's that are illegal and break the law) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skank Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 I can not stress enough that you need 2 hard drives back yo shit up after you download your new track copy it and back it up the last thing you need is for you to get a few gigs and you loose all your tunes plus its allways good to have a "work" drive and a home driveive had a harddrive crash on my while i was screwing round with serato nyte before a gig not the best feeling in the world lolDJ Dennis what happens if you download a tune from a blog site is that legal?

DjDennis Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 tramonte no worries just the mipi are on the move again!bloggers has a good idea - used it once here didnt perform to whats neededyou can also go here and see about grabing one of thesehttp://cgi.ebay.com.au/3x-SATA-HDD-RAID ... dZViewItemorhttp://cgi.ebay.com.au/Removable-SATA-H ... dZViewItemthen you can hot swap what you needwhen your dealing in computer parts etc you can find a lot of things better to usehope that helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RhemyD Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 Dj Dennis... if your tied up with all these companies then maybe you should go talk to your boss and find out what the real laws are. I've been in correspondence with PPCA and ARIA regarding mobile DJing using computers and they have licenses for this! I Smell a Conspiracy Theoriest!

tramonte Posted January 19, 2009 Author Share Posted January 19, 2009 ended up buying a seagate 500gb harddrive, only stays at home as a back up for my files that are on my macbookworks well, and got it pretty cheap ($110 i think).I still keep most of my music on my macbook anyway (only starting to build a digital collection with a fair bit of vinyl still around) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
