@Movie. Did you buy the WD Blue drive on its own or in the "Mydrive" external enclosure? I found in Canada its always cheaper to buy the USB Mydrives when on sale and remove the Blue HDD to use internally than it is to buy a retail or OEM drive on its own.. go figure eh. Nice setup btw.

Two drives failed in 4 years ... not bad at all, and both drives that failed were Seagate 3TB's. But, I do have other Seagate drives in my 1812+ plus 2x expansion units (DX513, DX510).

Yes ... unless I go out of town for a week or more, only time I power off.

Came across this program called "MoviePoster" 2 days ago. Never heart of it before but now I need to have it in my home cinema :p.
So I bought an Intel Compute Stick STK1AW32SC. First gonna install KODI on it and test it with the latest MVC build. After that it's gonna be my dedicated "MoviePoster" portable solution together with my old 24" FHD monitor.

Intel Compute Stick will work fine for MVC. And, you have the 2016 version w/Intel x5-Z8300, which is better than the 2015 version w/Z3735F. But, no HD audio bitstreaming w/either.
