Hey guys, Could really do with your help regarding the current set up surrounding my Hard Drives/ Laptop/ Xbox/ Blu-Ray and the like. Let me start by doing my best to explain what the current set up is... THE SETUP I currently have an Xbox & Blu Ray player connected to our TV in the lounge. Next to the TV I have my laptop with my 2 Hard Drives connected as my downloads download straight onto each HD. (not alot of room on the laptop) Now the reason I have 2 HD's is as follows. The Xbox will only accept FAT32 HDs where as larger files such as .mkv files (ie over 4GB) can not be placed on a FAT32. So.. I essentially have a DVD HD (FAT32) and & Blu-Ray HD (NTFS). Now, the DVD HD at the moment is in a singular HD Dock and is always connected to my laptop as the Xbox streams (TVersity) from it directly but the Blu-Ray HD I will often be switching the USB from my laptop (when its downloading) to the Blu-Ray player (when I want to watch anything) which leads me to... THE PROBLEM As of tonight, my singular HD dock (DVD HD) has died and is not loading up .( i am hoping its just the dock and not the actual HD) So I need to either buy another dock for it, job done. Or take this opportunity to try and simplify my set up and either consolidate or just do something else entirely (this is where you come in if you please) Because at somepoint in the not so distant future, my Blu-Ray HD is going to have to be joined by another as it's nearly full and I guess in time, the DVD HD will also need a buddy. So... Do I... a) buy a dock for the HD and forget about it all b) buy a HD Enclosure that I can put either both my DVD & Blu-Ray HD in? c) buy 2 HD Enclosures so that I can put (what will eventually be) 2 DVDs in one and 2 Blu-Rays in the other. d) do something else My only questions are, with the Enclosures, if you have 2 HDs in the same Enclosure, can they be read separately? And will there be any problems by having what will be a FAT32 (DVD) and a NTFS (Blu-Ray) in the same enclosure etc etc or as with d) is there something else completely (like getting an actual desktop PC or anything else anyone can think of etc) that would simplify it all. I am open to ideas and any help is greatly appreciated. Cheers,
