    Thanks again OP for the bargain alert.

    I'm truly envious of those with the ability to decipher the above link :o

    Apologies, "caddy" short circuited the brain - much as "€6.98" had a few hours earlier to impulse buy a third mantistek.

    for all the guys striping for the HDD inside; (worth $90.99 @  dell.com and $62.50 @ amazon.com)
    Please note that it is a WD AV-25 WD10JUCT - Hard drive - 1 TB
    I picked this up from some site;
    WD AV: Audio/Video streaming
    In many ways, the WD AV drive is similar to a WD Purple drive in that is designed for streaming audio and video in a 24/7 environment.
    Unlike WD Purple drives, the WD AV drives are optimized for streaming content from the drive, rather than streaming surveillance footage to the drive.
    The WD AV drives do not feature any advanced vibration protection which means you should not use more than one or two drives in a system. They are fairly low performance, but are very quiet and have a fairly low power draw. Specifically, WD recommends them for use in set-top boxes, media servers, and media centers.

    the spec sheet @  products.wdc.com/library/SpecSheet/ENG/2879-771362.pdf
    24x7 reliability - These drives are designed to last in always-on streaming digital audio/video environments such as DVR/PVR, digital video surveillance and other demanding multimedia applications.
    Optimized for smooth, continuous digital video playback of up to five simultaneous HD streams.
    SilkStream is compatible with the ATA streaming command set so AV customers can use standard streaming management and error recovery options.
    Quiet - Noise levels have been minimized to virtually below the threshold of human hearing.
    Low power consumption - The drive draws less than 2W while operating and a mere 4.75W during spin up.
    3-year limited warranty.
    since it is READ friendly and not WRITE friendly , would it be reliable for other non-AV data and OS daily usage as primary disk in laptops?
    Please discus.

    For decent performance use ssd drive as primary disk in any system, especially now when prices seems to start going down finally. Recommended for laptops where you can't have fast 7200 hdd or high performance cpu and power consumption is also a factor.

    I myself use these Canon's 1TB drives as backup storage in USB-powered 2.5" case.

    Looks like gus from hak5.org didn't give up and still trying to make the whole thing useful.

    I mean almost every cheap laptop will come with a better 1TB drive as standard which will be faster and better for purpose than this drive. Absolutely go the SSD route if possible. I wouldn't want to use this as a laptop drive, but if push came to shove I'd have no problem using it on a non-essential machine.

    But for me it'll be a backup of a backup which I will connect to my raspberry pi to share out over my network.

    My Mantistek caddy finally arrived, but now my PC won't recognise the drive. Tried it in another caddy, and still nothing.:confused:

    Sigma Design processors (or rather SOCs) can hardly support android so I would not expect any good performance on debian. These are chips for fridges or microwaves not computers ;)

    Even their website is a joke: https://www.sigmadesigns.com

    The IRISTA storage with this device is being cancelled.

    You can email them at irista.voucher@promotion-support.com regarding compensation for the cancelled voucher. Just sent it off, I found my voucher code in an email.

    Email sent as well

    Strangely enough got 2 months free Adobe lightroom 1TB in email about closure of services.

    'Safely store your downloaded images with Adobe Lightroom (1TB) and enjoy a complimentary 2-month membership***. You can use up to 1 terabyte of storage, as well as edit, organise and share your photos from anywhere'

    This goes down as one of the worst bargains ever. The actual product was a heap of junk and uploading to Irista was a total pain in the ass.

    I ripped the hard drive out of the box, it's now sitting in a drawer somewhere, and now Irista is gone. Utter waste of time and money.

    So, par for the course with the BA forum :)

    Crikey; getting the HDD out of the Canon yoke was like something out of Mission Impossible. My swear jar was overflowing after doing it. I put the HDD into a linux tv box to record with. (knock on wood) its been going well for around 2 years or so.

    I've been using the HDD drive for the last year, the AAA batteries from the remote were handy, and did it come with a hdmi cable?

    I still must throw all the hardware in the bin though. The box was useless in that you couldn't retrieve raw files from it. I also just missed out on the irista offer with it, bit I had/have 100gb free there anyway.

    I planned on setting it up in my new house..a year ago.

    Looks like I've just to strip out the HD. I need a new one
    Will they fit in an enclosure?

    It can still be used to pass photos etc to it from the phone yeah?

    It'll still take pictures from your phone and camera, save them to the HDD, show them on your TV, show them on your phone and pc on the same network, and allow you to share them through canon image gateway to all your friends with connect stations. You just want get online storage with irista.

    Typing that out reminds me how this was such a good concept, but they made a mess of the implantation.

    Luckily I had a set of those special screwdrivers but even then there was a lot of jimmying and prying required.

    Yep, I remember reading the blurb and thinking, this is EXACTLY what I need to organise and actually look at my photos. A great idea, good hardware, completely ruined by the UI. A real shame.

    Sounds like a reason not to strip out the HD.:)

    I remember thinking It'd be great, set it up by the TV. As soon as I get in from taking pictures I can put the camera on top of it and allow it to do a backup, and be able to view the pictures on the TV. Right, time to edit and hey the pictures on my PC. Oh, it only sends jpegs, not RAW files. What idiot decided that you could put files onto it, but not be able to get them back out?

    I could've lived with the browser based network UI, but that one flaw was too much.
