Could this, if not right away, then at some point ,enable Receptor to stream
massive samples from an external ethernet drive?
Another Uniwire"musing"....

Receptor's Ethernet is 100 BaseT - that's 100 Mbps (mega bits per second). That is 4 times slower than Firewire or USB 2.0. I'm not sure what is the exact speed of the internal hard drive, but it is faster than Firewire or USB 2.0. It might be closer to Gigabit Ethernet or Firewire 800.PhilAiken wrote:Could this, if not right away, then at some point ,enable Receptor to stream

If in the future we might offer a Receptor with Gigabit Ethernet and then it might be feasible. But, I don't know if there are any external Ethernet drives that are very fast.
Right now the best solution is to have a large internal drive. We have installed drives as large as 200 GB in Receptor. I just saw a 400 GB Seagate drive, but I don't know if the heat and power specs are compatible with the current power supply. At some point we will look into the 300 GB and 400 GB Seagate drives.

Thanks, Dan.....I guess when I heard about streaming 32 tracks of audio + midi using uniwire, I jusmped to the wrong conclusion.DanTimis wrote:Receptor's Ethernet is 100 BaseT - that's 100 Mbps (mega bits per second).

I am having a 160 GB drive put in my newly purchased Receptor as soon as it shows up.

Can Receptor can handle external drives like a LaCie D2 hooked up to the USB2.0 ports..?
