astral Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 He may be referring to those small, (half a laptop) size personal DVD players. I expect they use 3.5" hard disks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Reimar Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 (edited) It's a external 2.5" HDD case with Remote and Chinch connector for to connect directly to an TV or so without to use an computer!

pumper Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 (edited) me thinks he is referring to an Ipod like device i have an arcos 30gig unit, 2 years old .. plays & RECORDS music & video + has user replacable battery walmart carries .. about us$300. for the newer 100gig unit i highly recommend .. comes with a remote to act as a 'rather full function' dvr. i've heavily used mine without issue. 13 hours music on 1 battery ,, w/ the replacable battery LA - Bkk jammin. + with usb2 it is an excellent external backup / file transfer tool .. my computer sees it as an external HD Edited October 30, 2007 by pumper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take a look at the Links I posted before and that's exactly what he's looking for. Dont need to pay a Fortune! A 500 GB Multimedia HDD cost below THB 10,000 That's a lot cheaper than the 100 GB device for THB 12,000 plus you suggest!! For the 2.5" device the cost for 200 GB incl. Case is about THB ~7,000 till a lot cheaper as yours! And both of them having Remote and direct connect to TV and computer just for what you need at the time! iPod's to much limited anyway! And to expensive because you pay for an name! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pumper Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 (edited) >Take a look at the Links I posted before and that's exactly what he's looking for.< there me go thinkin' again. "Multimedia Player" is what threw me .. Ipod is a brand of player with a HDD (as opposed to flash memory.) + i did not suggest an ipod .. just was usin' "Ipod like device" as a generic description (by far the best selling multimedia player) of a multimedia player 7k THB for the case is 221.616 USD. (seems way high ah moi) + me thinks 300 usd is not 12k thb 300.00 USD = 9,478.93 THB (0ctober 30, 2007 exchange rate) not 12k thb (2006 exchange rate, remember the us$ has totally tanked) + the archos HDD PLAYER unit does not require a cum-pooter to record or play .. just thinkin', it be you that knows what he's looking for me was thinkin' about what he might be wantin' ..

The price you was giving was for an 60 GB iPod in Thailand! If your price was for an "iPod like Device" you really need to start to thinking again and special check. Even if your price was for an 100 GB "iPod like Device" it was more than 2,5 times higher than for an 120 GB HDD Multimedia Player in Thailand! But I get an 500 GB for the price of max 300 US in Thailand and that is 5 times the capacity! It's just a calculation! As I looking for prices in Thailand, I even ad the cost for shipping and so on to the US price and here we go: it's a bit more than just the exchange! And the OP is looking for to buy in Thailand!

pumper Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 (edited) I think he needs a Pantip (or wherever) vendor suggestion that can help his friend obtain the 3.5 hdd media player he desires. seems media players are displayed in "1/2" the display cases in Pantip. how many are 3.5 hdd media players? .. other factor: cuba electric for the thai 220 player? thai electric - cuba electric convertor? Rafacuba, I apoligize for my tastless "90 mile" attempt at humor. .. & I agree with you regarding the us cuba policy! in my initial posts I did not realize you are in cuba. I thought you were from cuba & in Thailand. good luck finding the player that meets your requirements... again, for my tasteless attempt at humor. jajaja in Thai = 555 Edited November 4, 2007 by pumper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Reimar Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 Rafacuba: Take a look at the websites I suggest early and tell to your friend wich you want with which Harddisk (2.5 or 3.5" and which size in GB)! Give your friend a few possibilities. Most of the drives available in Thailand special at Pantip Plaza in Bangkok. For US $ 160 you should get a drive with app. 250 GB without any problems! Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give your friend a few possibilities. Most of the drives available in Thailand special at Pantip Plaza in Bangkok. For US $ 160 you should get a drive with app. 250 GB without any problems! Cheers I bought a 2.5" HDD MultiMedia Player (999 Baht) about a half year ago because I was fed-up with the scratching of the CD/DVD's making them ready for the waster bin in a few weeks. I also had a spare 120GB hard-disk with a few bad sectors which made this harddisk of no use for the PC, but welcome to the HDD player. The HDD player has also a Card Reader built in which is able to read most of the SD/MS/MMC cards. It can play AV formats such as MPEG4/DVD/VCD/MP3/MP4/AAC/OGG/CD/DIVx/AVI/MPG/WMV/XVID and JPEG/JPG/TIFF and other formats. In addition, it can play a chosen sound file while displaying a photo reportage. NOTE: The harddisk needs to be formatted as FAT32 system, restricting the maximum capacity per partition to 32GB> Great little player for its price. I copies most of my CD'S/DVD's to this HDD player, and they still play without missing an image. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
