Re: just lost entire tv/movie library, questions..

The Disc Copier is in hand. waiting for the e sata card tommorow, and hoping to test it out :). thankfully, recovering the movies took far less time than I thought.t 100 4k discs and about 100 blu rays in 2 (?) weeks, with two drives. not bad. also, with this, next time I get a new computer case, I ...

Re: just lost entire tv/movie library, questions..

It really depends on how much you want to install. The Coolgear looks interesting, but requires 2 eSATA ports on the main computer to feed 4 SATA ports in your box. That means a card in the main computer (most don't have eSATA ports). I have one e sata port on my media card reader, but adding an ex...

Re: just lost entire tv/movie library, questions..

IF they are to be believed... YMMV New: hmm, can't find any info on that store. what about something like this? you'd just need one 5 part sata power cable from the psu for the drives, and one sata cable to power this sucker. and one sata out. https://www.startech.com/en-us/hdd/st521pmint and then ...

Re: just lost entire tv/movie library, questions..

The copystar duplicator may work, but the controller card mentioned does not seem to be available. You'd have to check on that. If you've got to feed it and change the names on things, I found 4 drives was my personal limit for TV series like Star Trek. Movies could be more, because you'd only have...

Re: just lost entire tv/movie library, questions..

I was reading other threads on this forum and saw this. if I wanted too go this route, what would I need too get it up and running, other than a few more drives? https://www.amazon.ca/Copystars-Duplicator-build-Blu-ray-CD-dvd-duplicator-supply/dp/B00FPFPR4Y/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=Copystars%2BDuplicator...

Re: just lost entire tv/movie library, questions..

I tried all the basics like check erros and it came back as bad drive, or something like that. I tried an expensive linux recovery software that I'm awaiting a refund on....that did see all the data, but the data was all messed up. The files in the proper directory wouldn't play, and no amount of fi...

Re: just lost entire tv/movie library, questions..

Just a note that my rips took different lengths of time per disk; some rip fast, others take longer. Pioneer drives are good for ripping everything now, but not especially fast at it, topping out around 8x. The LG drives seem to go as fast as 16x toward the end of rips, if they have adequate power ...

Re: just lost entire tv/movie library, questions..

Honestly it is hard to understand a power outage taking out all your data. Likely you could do some sort of recovery on the disks themselves to get most of that back. Three of the drives came back, both recently reformatted. one with all the data did not. check errors didn't work, nothing worked. u...
