arfur mo Posted June 29, 2010 Posted June 29, 2010 Assume you mean DVD no hard drives? as most modern kit even cheap DVRs can be accessed via LAN and internet, most my clients do any backups password's etc. from te comfort of their PC's, easier than fanny around with the units interface makes the bullt in cd drives bit rundant omo, not they cost much, ut the bigger guys charge fortunes Arfur If you think education is difficult, try being stupid!!!!
Cubit Posted June 29, 2010 Posted June 29, 2010 In answer to the question and not the sidetrack, preference for fitting one's own. The days of the DVR being locked down on the HD are gone, surely?
Guest Oxo Posted June 29, 2010 Posted June 29, 2010 Rather have them fitted at factory, any problems can be dealt with under warranty. In saying that have fitted a few to expand the HD capacity. IE two drives.
IAS Posted June 29, 2010 Posted June 29, 2010 yes, come on James - hard drive or disc drive ................. LOL I have no choice but to buy something with them already fitted.
arfur mo Posted June 29, 2010 Posted June 29, 2010 Rather have them fitted at factory, any problems can be dealt with under warranty. In saying that have fitted a few to expand the HD capacity. IE two drives. now we know it's the HDD, ditto - with drives sourced fro the same supplier for same warranty reasons, with exception of last upgrade as they had stopped stocking the PATA drives having gone over to SATA's . edit = just to add for the 2 (missing brain link) halves of JedWard, DM sold an external CD for backup (i have one), without a HD it would be a tad bloody useless, original post question was did not distinguish which drive to be with or without. with many modern machines dropping the dvd in favour of Pen drive or network backup, it is becoming common to drop this drive, and a reason fro asking 'that' question. Arfur If you think education is difficult, try being stupid!!!!
hpotter Posted June 29, 2010 Posted June 29, 2010 Cant see any point in fitting own, dont manufacturers subsidise them if factory fit?
Cubit Posted June 29, 2010 Posted June 29, 2010 Cant see any point in fitting own, dont manufacturers subsidise them if factory fit? Cheaper to buy your own drives. Dependent on kit, buy unit with smallest hard Drive then just add the extra capacity yourself.
