Made for Media Center Windows Media Center Addin

2

Back in November last year, we reported on the great work that my friend and fellow MVP Ian Dixon was doing with the Made for Media Center App Store : https://moviesgamesandtech.com/2009/11/17/made-for-media-center-the-app-store-for-windows-media-center/

Made for Media Center

Yesterday Ian announced an add-in for Window Media Center that enables you to download add-ins directly from Media Center.

Here is what Ian had to say:

We have been really pleased with the response to the Made for Media Center app store, with thousands of registered users it shows there is a market for quality Windows Media Center applications and the benefit of having them in one location. At the time we launched we said we were working on a 10 foot UI so you could download Windows Media Center apps directly from the Media Center UI and I am very pleased to say we have a beta of the Media Center Addin ready for you to play with.

First you will need an account at MadeforMediaCenter.com and then go to the download page and selection either the 32bit or 64bit version.

The first time you launch the application you will be asked for your MadeforMediaCenter.com account details, in the current version the PIN number feature is not enabled in future versions you will be asked for your PIN (set via the download page on the websites) when you download an app.

From the app you can install any of the Media Center apps without leaving Windows Media Center,

We are still working on a few minor issues but all the main features are there. If you have an issues, comments or feedback you can leave them in the Made for Media Center forum and don’t forget to follow @4mediacenter on twitter.

Well done Ian, this is great! Keep up the excellent work.

If you have Windows Media Center, then you have to get this add-in now.

HP X510 Data Vault Now with 3 Year Warranty and KeepVault EMEA News

Earlier this week, HP got in touch to let us know that they are extending the 1 year warranty on all HP X510 Data Vault servers to 3 years at no charge.

Here is what they said:

As of last week, all new and existing HP StorageWorks X510 Data Vault customers will now benefit from a three year return-to-base warranty on their device.  HP has updated all of its warranty and support databases, so anyone needing to ring HP with an issue will not have to “re-register” or notify the support teams of this change.  This is a significant enhancement to the product and should give users greater confidence and peace of mind when considering whether to invest in HP’s emerging business Windows Home Server solution.

(Note: this change applies to Data Vault only; MediaSmart Server warranty remains 1 Year)

It is very interesting to note that HP clearly see that businesses (who the X510 is primarily aimed at) require more than just a 1 year warranty.

The other piece of news from HP is that Proxure’s KeepVault add-in is being offered at a 20% discount for EMEA customers.

Here is what they said:

Also, HP has launched Proxure’s KeepVault as the de facto online backup add-in for X510 Data Vault customers in EMEA.  The service is available in English, French, German and Spanish and HP customers can enjoy at 20% discount on Proxure standard pricing.

HP is excited to present users with KeepVault, an online backup service that is designed for WHS customers.  With KeepVault, users can select individual subfolders and top level WHS shares for real time, continuous protection or schedule regular backups when convenient.  Data is encrypted prior to transfer, and remains encrypted in the vault.  KeepVault provides notifications to email, SMS, or Twitter.  In case of lost data files, users can recover all missing files on their PC with the One Click Recovery feature, and all of this for a fixed annual subscription price that can easily be upgraded as your storage needs grows.

The Keep Vault is available in two flavours, standard “Keep Vault” and “Keep Vault Pro and Business”.  KeepVault Pro and Business has all of the features of KeepVault, and additional value for small businesses and advanced users.  KeepVault Pro and Business sports best in class upload speeds, up to 3X regular KeepVault speeds.  Data is encrypted prior to being sent, and remains encrypted in the cloud with secure 128 bit encryption (soon 256 bit).  Customers can backup multiple HP Data Vaults to the cloud, and can access their files from any internet connected computer – at home, office, or on the road.  KeepVault Pro and Business includes administrative features such as enhanced alert notification, proxy server support, and admin lockdown.

Customers can get access to KeepVault Online Backup and full service details from the offer site at http://hp.keepvault.com/offer.php?refer=rr_hpwhs.

We reviewed KeepVault for Windows Home Server last year: Add-In Review – KeepVault v3.0 for Windows Home Server

FINAL THOUGHTS

I love this add-in, it’s simply one of the best add-ins available for Windows Home Server. It is great to be able to have a single place to go to look for updates to my current add-ins or search for new add-ins. The add-in was very easy to use, and it pointed out to me that I was several versions behind on some of my add-ins, plus it was nice to see what other people are downloading.

All I can say is a big well done to the guys over at HomeServerLand and please keep up the good work!

You can download the beta from here: http://www.homeserverland.com/downloads/m/whsaddins/7825.aspx

Data Robotics Launch the Drobo FS

3

Data Robotics have just launched a new Drobo unit, called the Drobo FS which is designed for file sharing.

Drobo_S_Front_HiDrobo_S_Open_HiDrobo_FS_Back_Hi

Here is the overview of the Drobo FS from Data Robotics:

You told us what you wanted, and we listened. The revolutionary Drobo FS was designed with one purpose in mind: to deliver the best file sharing experience ever. From the moment you plug it in and see it instantly appear on your desktop, you’ll know there’s nothing like it. The all-in-one Drobo FS is perfect any connected home, home office, or small office environment needing a simple, safe device for sharing and backing up files over the network.

Like all Drobo storage products, Drobo FS provides redundant data protection without the complexities of RAID. Just plug in your Drobo FS, and your data protection is all set up with no configuration required. We call this BeyondRAID™ technology. You’ll call it peace of mind.

Share your data on a Gigabit Ethernet Network

Drobo FS connects directly to a Gigabit Ethernet network to make sharing your data easy. Just plug it into any switch or wireless router and you are ready to go.

Supports the Computer of Your Choice

Connect to your Drobo FS using any Windows, Mac, or UNIX/Linux computer.¹ Whatever system you have, it’s likely you’ll be able to connect to it over your network quickly and easily.

Easy Expansion to 10TB and Beyond

Drobo FS holds up to five drives allowing you to effortlessly grow your storage to meet your data capacity needs. To add more space, simply insert a new hard drive or replace your smallest drive with a larger one, even when all drive bays are full.

And unlike traditional RAID systems, the BeyondRAID technology in Drobo FS enables you to mix and match drive capacities, brands and speeds. This unprecedented flexibility allows for continuous expansion as available hard drive capacities increase.

With Drobo FS, expansion is automatic, instantaneous and access to data is always maintained.

Protection from up to Two Drive Failures

Enable the dual-drive redundancy option to protect your data from failure of up to two hard drives. It’s all done with a single-click and you never lose access to your data. Running out of space? No problem. Switch back to single-drive redundancy at any time. Unlike moving between traditional RAID levels, there’s no need to reformat or migrate data off of the Drobo FS — potentially saving you hours or days of downtime.

Self-Healing Technology

With the self-healing technology incorporated into Drobo FS, your data is safer than ever. When sitting idle, Drobo FS will proactively examine the blocks and sectors on every drive, flagging questionable areas. This preemptive  “scrubbing” helps ensure your data is being written only to the healthy areas of your drives. When a drive fails, Drobo FS keeps your data in the safest state possible by moving your data to the available space on the remaining healthy drives.

A Drobo as Unique as you Are

Select from a wide selection of free DroboApps designed to give you the freedom to configure and customize your Drobo FS to meet your own unique set of requirements. Our growing library of DroboApps adds amazing functionality like media, web, and more!

To learn more about the Drobo FS, click here: http://drobo.com/products/drobo-fs.php or watch the video below:

Pricing and Availability Drobo FS is currently available at a starting price of $699 MSRP, with multiple configurations to $1,449 for a 10TB (5x 2TB drives) bundle. Drobo FS is available now from authorized partners worldwide and on www.drobostore.com.

The easy $250 outlet HTPC on a Friday night

I can easily go overboard on a HTPC build but can I do it the other way? Can I make a cheap HTPC that actually performs? This is not really a build. It is more of a bargain hunt. Let me show you how I did it this on a Friday night.

$250 HTPC

Outlet PCs – Really?

Large PC manufacturers sell refurbished or “scratch and dent” PCs. Sometimes, like at Dell and HP, they sell them for under $300. Sometimes under $200!

Why buy a PC already assembled? Well, if you are going to build your own PC you can hunt around for parts and deals, but when it comes to the OS you are going to have to pay from $85-$100 for Windows 7. This means your home build with “new parts” is always going to be a minimum of $200 or more.

Last week I got a 15% off coupon from Dell and started looking for a cheap Dell Windows 7 PC. I finally found one and ordered it. They are actually listed quite regularly if you do not mind refreshing the page often. It took me a couple of hours checking about every 10 minutes before it popped up.

Make sure the Outlet PC you order has Windows 7 Premium!

$250 HTPC

I had also ordered a CPU on sale from TigerDirect recently. These deals also pop up all the time on other sites like Newegg.

$250 HTPC

I also get 10% Bing Cashback from the the CPU order! Sweet. $255.53 minus $6.70 CB is $248.83!

Why the Dell Inspiron 546?

I am Dell guy. You might be a HP person. You might even like another brand. It is cool either way. I like Dell because they have all of their support online and it is easy to find their specs and the service tag information. So why the Inspiron 546 model?

  • AMD CPU Socket
  • Four memory slots
  • Four SATA connections
  • HDMI connection

$250 HTPC

$250 HTPC

Do not like Dells? Go to HP. You could also do the Compaq CQ4010f Desktop PC at the HP Outlet for $319 plus 10% Cashback which puts you at $287 (no tax).

$250 HTPC

This unit comes with the same AMD Sempron LE-1300 Processor so upgrading the CPU would be easy!

Let me show you how easy it is…

X4 Phenom CPU Change Video

AMD CPUs are usually less expensive and should suit you fine for a HTPC.

Optional HTPC Aftermarket Upgrades

A HTPC would be connected to your home stereo and might be driving a large flat screen TV. You can find 5.1 sound cards for under $20 online and 512MB video cards for about the same. You could trade out the processor cost for these two parts and still be under $250.

$250 Performance?

I am not going to run super cool tests or benchmarks. Not for $250. I will let Microsoft numbers show you some basic information. Its a $250 PC.

Out of the box from Dell:

$250 HTPC

After “used freebie” 512MB 4350 Video Card installed

$250 HTPC

After X4 Phenom upgrade:

$250 HTPC

Stupid Aero rating is always the lowest! Anyone know how to increase this easily?

Conclusion

Overall I am very happy with outlet purchases. Five of my PCs are from the outlet and work great.

Can you have performance for $250? I think so. If you are looking into a HTPC or even a second PC I would suggest looking at outlet PCs. With coupon codes or Bing you can get some great deals. If 5.1 sound is not something you want to add then you can find outlet PCs that have it as part of the system. If you familiarize yourself with a certain model or case size you can lurk around the outlet and wait for the good deals.

Next week I will install a $54.99 Blu-Ray from Newegg!

See you next Friday night.

    My PowerPoint 2010 Book Is Finished

    1

    This week saw me putting the finishing touches to my PowerPoint 2010 In Easy Steps book.

     

    PP2010 IES Cover

     

    Why did I write a book on PowerPoint 2010 you might well ask? Well, while I was writing it I often asked myself the same question Smile

     

    The answer was that I was asked to do it because I had written one on PowerPoint 2007 a few years back when a publisher I had written for previously had to find an author quickly.

    Anyway, here we are and I am happy to say it’s finished, with the publisher and will be released around June time.

     

    If you are interested in pre-ordering a copy, you can do so below:

     

        

     

    Right, no more books from me for a while Smile Yeah, I know I have said that before, but I mean it this time. Time to concentrate again on UWHS!

    Review of the Sans Digital MobileSTOR MS2UT+B 2 Bay Drive Enclosure

    If you have a need to connect some SATA disks to your computer externally, you might want to consider using a drive enclosure. The Sans Digital MobileSTOR MS2UT 2 bay drive enclosure also provides a RAID solution if you want to protect the data on your drives.

    WHAT IS THE MOBILESTOR?

    The Sans Digital website describes the MobileStore:

    The MobileSTOR MS2UT+B series is a fully loaded 2-bay external RAID solution designed for home and small business storage needs. With simplicity and flexibly in mind, this series is equipped with two hot-swappable 3.5” hard drive trays, as well as both USB 2.0 and eSATA host interfaces. In addition to RAID 0 and RAID 1, MS2UT+ also utilizes the latest Silicon Image 5744 chipset, supporting the newest SAFE33 and SAFE50 technology. SAFE33 and SAFE50 allows the creation of two hard drive volumes where 1/3 (SAFE33) or 1/2 (SAFE50) of the volume is used for mirroring and the rest is used for Spanning (Big). In comparison to SAFE (RAID 1) mode, which utilizes both hard drives for mirroring, SAFE33 and SAFE50 increase storage space by setting aside a portion of disk space for regular data storage while performing mirror simultaneously. By incorporating SAFE33 and SAFE50, the MS2UT+ eliminates the cost of additional hard drives needed for various storage modes.

    FEATURES

  • Hardware RAID engine, supporting RAID 0, RAID 1, Spanning, JBOD, SAFE33, and SAFE50.
  • Drive interface: 2 x 3.5″ SATA I / SATA II hard drive.
  • Removable trays for fast access of additional hard drives and easy trouble shooting.
  • Utilizing the latest RAID chipset, supporting SAFE 33 / SAFE50 mode.
  • SAFE33 / SAFE50 creates two hard drive volumes where 1/3 or 1/2 of the hard drive volume is    used for mirroring and the rest is used for spanning (Big).
  • Temperature controlled cooling fan for quieter operations.
  • Supports Windows, Linux, and MAC OS X.
