[QUOTE="ymerguer, post: 14395"] [b]Two 2.5"-disks AND optical unit in Pundit-R?[/b] First of all, thanks for the great "silent-mod" from Mikael (miknord)! I hope it will really make a difference in the noise-level when I receive my Pundit-R on monday! I have been thinking about something for a while now, regarding the Pundit-R and 2.5"-disks. The challenge is as follows: - The 3.5"-disks generate a lot more heat and noise, so I want to go for 2.5"-disk(s). - But at the same time I'm going to record a lot of movies and such, which takes up a lot of space on my drives. - 2.5"-disks of large capacity_are_expensive, and tops out at around 100 GB these days (120 being on the way to market but being far too expensive to even think about). So what I will try to do, is to insert two 2.5"-disks in my Pundit-R. I don't know if it will work, but it says in reviews that the Pundit-R has two disk controllers: The IDE-controller for two IDE-units, and the other is a IDE-controller-converted to SATA. So hopefully I can insert one 2.5"-IDE disk, one optical IDE-unit AND one 2.5" SATA-disk. If this works I will still (hopefully) have a fairly silent case but with two separate disks for more total storage space (can hopefully improve performance as well, during for instance recording). Have anyone tried this yet? Haven't found anyone yet, but if someone knows please tell me about it. [/QUOTE]
