PCH Harddrive

So WOL is Wake on Lan, what about WOL would make using the NMT better?

Would I just install a usb and it would improve WOL. What size USB?

WOL would be used to wake you NextPVR host from sleep mode. Sounds like you don't need it.

I currently have a drive in an A100 (use and need WOL here). I think I would have gone back to USB flash if it hadn't kept getting knocked as people passed by!.
If there was a USB socket on the back I would have gone back to using USB. I ought to buy one of these itsy bitsy tiny sticks compared to my old big one - but I've never got round to it. I suspect I have to reboot the NMT less often with the hard drive, but that wasn't that often anyway.

The old MVP and NMT made gbpvr/npvr such a wonderful tool - thanks sub and Martin

So I just stick the USB in and it is good to go. I have extra USB's what size should I use

[mvallevand]

Assuming you are doing that for WOL, you need to install mvpmcx2 on the USB with the NMTinstall and then modify the scripts to run WOL. That's just a few MB, so any size will do.

SSD Drives don't make any noise

SSD Drives don't make any noise

I haven't seen many (any?) SSD's with an IDE interface though and never had any success with the IDE/SATA adapter thingies.

Yea you are right the PCH A100 has IDE as I have one and I use a IDE to 32GB CF Card with a IDE to CF adapter.

Below is the one I used for my PCH A100 hope this helps. Yes you will have around 50 bucks in it but it is about the same for a 32GB SSD Drive

32 GB CF Card http://www.amazon.com/Transcend-Compact-...102&sr=1-8

Adapter http://www.amazon.com/StarTech-com-Compa...cf+adapter

IDE Female to Male http://www.amazon.com/40-Pin-Male-Female...B005IQWH98

How I secured the CF Adapter is I wrapped the IDE Cable around the Adapter and Card and used out a wire tie around it so it would not short out to anything I know not the best but it works.
