Hello,

i thinking about buying an Dune HD Media Player, but don't now witch one. So I have a few questions to fix my decision.
Is it possible to connect an External Blue Ray Drive on the Base via USB or SATA and can I play normal BD from this drive? So I can it also use on my PC/MAC.
Or is it a better decision buy an Prime? Can I use the internal BlueRay Drive from the Prime on my PC/MAC or isn't it on the SMB Service from the player?

Thanks for your answers

Flo

PS: Sorry for the my english but I am from Germany. Hope I also get support from your Forum

Yes you better option buy Prime-external Blue Ray Drive on the Base will not support playback original Blu-ray disk-only disk you created.

You will have two options:

1.buy with internal disk

2.buy without internal disk

If you choose second option-you can,t install internal disk yourself without voiding warranty.

If i understood you right-external disk supported up to 2TB SATA or USB.

I would first choose the second option because I have note the money to buy it with an internal disk... that is intresst in a half or hole year for me. And that with the warranty is a pity. But I will accept it in Future.

Okay... thanks for this information, but I mean if I put an internal disk in the player for my self. Lose I the external SATA or is there an other option, because I read that I must plug out the external SATA to connect die internal Disk.

Thanks a lot for all who help me...

Yes you will lose external SATA-but you have 4 USB ports-and speed plenty .

okay... and when I buy the Prime with internal Disk I also lose the external SATA or is both than available? That is what nobody can say me yet...

I believe that you can use a USB to SATA adapter for an internal HDD so that you don't loose the external eSATA port.

I don't own a Dune, but to me it sounds terribly petty to void the warranty just because an owner (yes, who bought and owns the product) installs a HDD of his choice, when the unit supports it technically.
And what's this about "losing" an eSATA port if an internal SATA HDD is built in?
Ridiculous!
I thought companies are supposed to be customer-friendly, not bullying . . . .

Its not "Ridiculous"-because you have option-or you buy with internal drive-or not.
If you not install internal drive-you will have eSATA-its only you option.
