Reddit mentions of WD 1TB Elements Portable External Hard Drive - USB 3.0 - WDBUZG0010BBK-WESN,Black

> That's a lot of work for me to basically record PBS ... I don't watch any of those shows.

Less work than you think. I had my whole setup up and running in about 35 minutes or so.

There's some gaps in there. Notice there's nothing after May of 2017. Zilch for 2018.

>I literally would not know what to do with local channels, I already have a pretty large HDTV antenna on my roof and I get maybe 10 channels.

Your antenna may just need to be repointed. TVFool and a compass can do a lot. It's also possible you have a crappy TV tuner. The tuners put into TV sets and USB dongles/PCIe cards in the early 2000s were pretty crappy. Newer ones a significantly better. When I swapped out my WinTV HVR-950Q for a HDHR Connect I saw a dramatic increase in reception.

>I mean sure I could record Bobs Burgers or something on Fox, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, but those are the only shows on regular over the air channels that I watch and I barely even watch them.

That's kind of the magic of a DVR. Set your recording rules to keep storage manageable and they'll just be there whenever you get the urge to watch it.

I mean, for example, my mom and I love Cook's Country and America's Test Kitchen. Every Sunday we'd sit down on the couch and watch it. When I moved out I've kind of fallen out of that habit, but from time to time I still do like to sit down and watch them. So whenever I'm all like "what should I watch," I can say, "oh, I'll watch ATK" and a recording will be sitting there, waiting for me.

I don't have to go out and find a torrent (since it's not available streaming), wait for it download, and then get it into Plex or whatever. I just go press play. I've got the recording rules set up to keep only the three most recent showings, and set it to a relatively low priority.

>Spending $200 so I can record 3 shows I don't care about is really offputting, but thanks for the hardware recommendations.

Actually the HVR-150PVR goes for $30 on Amazon, add a cheap hard drive and you've got everything you need for less than $100. That's less than a month's worth of coffee shop visits.

>I doubt any of that can be DVR'd without also paying for cable and many add-on packs to get HBO/Starz etc.

Well of course not, but while I have a DVR I still have Netflix and Amazon Prime. It's a supplement, not a replacement. Helps save on the data caps, gets some oddball programming that isn't commonly available, and enables me to follow special programming that may not be available streaming. Like CBS.

Leslie Moonves has an enormous stick up his ass about streaming. But putting up an antenna and DVR'ing 60 Minutes is pretty easy. No muss, no fuss. No need to set up VPNs and play with Sonarr and SickBeard, juggling around Plex libraries, and stuff like that, just to watch a show that is available to me, for free, legally, all I have to do is pluck it out of the air.

OT per i cuGGini: cerco un HD esterno da un tera, con circa 50€ Amazon mi propone questo o questo, qualcuno li utilizza?

In my experience the wii does not need a y splitter, but a wii u does. I've ran my wii for years with the 500GB version of this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06VVS7S94/

Good advice. snag yourself a hard drive then hop into windows backup/filehistory set it and forget it.

Yeah, IF. They don't know if the deal was because of his Prime membership or not because he didn't say.

Plus someone said this:

>That explanation is not the same as the previous ones, from what I can tell. The original issue, was one that I also was curious about, which was simply that the item was listed as prime. It did not mention it was a Prime Deal, which yes, would be different. However, I went to Besy Buy today and they gladly matched an Amazon Prime priced item, which is all I wanted to clarify. There are many posts where people are saying they won't accept any price matching at all if a item is Prime, and that simply is NOT the case! Happy shipping to all!

I also saw another comment from a BB Specialist:

> Regarding the Amazon Prime exception, what this means is that our policy does not cover pricing that is only available to select groups of customers including loyalty offers, discounts relating to non-warehouse membership programs and government exchange store offers. An example of this would be Prime Day deals or deals that are only available to Prime members. This does not mean that an item that is Prime shipping eligible would be excluded, and we would still be able to match these prices.

So just because it has Prime in the item description, doesn't mean they won't price match it. You just have to look to make sure it's not Prime Deal/Day special.

Prime deal only - not eligible You can tell because it says, "You Save: $1.30 (10%) as a Prime member"

Prime but deal is for everyone - eligible You can tell because it says, "You Save: $6.86 (14%) " Also, "Ships from and sold by Amazon.com." Which is currently a lower price than Best Buy

I bought this one for 3599. (300 Amazon Pay Cashback)
I guess that's a good deal. If it's not, please let me know, I'll return mine too.

Merci pour ta réponse ; je pense qu'on va rester sur du simple (DDE USB3 tout prêt) parce qu'on est pas des flèches en info.

Sur Amazon je vois un DDE de WD à 54€ pour 1 TO ou 70€ pour 2 TO, ce qui est tout à fait dans nos prix. Ça semble honnête comme tarifs ?
(mon daron a acheté une carde SD 4GO à ce prix il y a genre dix ans, c'est fou la vitesse à laquelle les choses changent).


Sinon j'ai repéré une clé USB Kingston qui semble solide - la marque est toujours digne de confiance ?

Merci pour les conseils d'Acronis True Image. Je ne savais pas que Windows disposait de son propre outil, je vais voir si il est cool / user friendly, et sinon on investira :)

Merci encore ♥

If the music is on the external hard drive then yes, you would have to have it plugged in to listen to it. If it is stored on the computer itself then no. You would just play it from the computer. I’ll assume you’re using iTunes. All you would have to do is let iTunes know where your music is stored.

The drives I recommended are solid state. You don’t necessarily need solid state but they are much faster than a spinning drive. Something like this would suit you just fine and save you a few bucks.
