My impression from BackBlaze and general consumer reviews is that the Reds aren't any more reliable than any other HDD (outside of the magnetic POS known as the Seagate 3TB Barracuda).
If you are an Android user but still wax nostalgic for the good ole days when your Blackberry had a physical keyboard, you may want to take a look at the Priv:

Any of them should be fine. All of them are dual-band so you have 2 SSIDs to mix and match. Set your most distant devices to run on the 2.4GHz band and the closer ones at 5GHz and you should be fine. I have 2 smartphones, Kodi HTPC, Laptop, 3 tablets, wireless printer and an Ooma Telo all...
I agree with Tweak155, unless you have or foresee a specific need that it doesn't fill already, the Archer C7 is tough to beat for the average household. Used one for over 3 years and it was always a rock.
So your issue us more with the scraper than with Kodi?
If that's the case, you may wanna try a media manager like TinyMediaManager to scrape and create .nfo files that Kodi will read. I use it in place of Kodi's scraper because I can control the metadata and art so much better.
It is strange that you couldn't get Kodi to find the TV shows. It should be that easy. There is really no better solution than what you have now.
Have you gone through the Kodi wiki to make sure it's not something you are overlooking?

I have had a couple of Toshiba ext HDDs (2Tb & 3TB) for the last 4 years and they have been just fine. The one problem I run into is that they go to sleep after 5 minutes and I have to unplug and then plug them back in to get them to show up in "My Computer" again. I run NoSleep HDD at startup...
Fractal Design Define R4 or R5
8x3.5" internal HDD bays, 2x5.25" external bays and you can mount two SSDs or 2.5" HDDs to the back of the motherboard tray as well. Good cooling with 2x140mm fans blowing in across the 8x3.5" and another 140mm out at the rear. You can also add a side and/or top...
Exactly, some tech geeks will take the time to learn but most people just wanna pick it up and go. I can't imagine trying to teach my wife how to use BB10.
I would love a Priv but it's just a little more than I wanna spend. I tend to grab the year old technology and save the $$$$. I see that...
The thing that stuck out to me was that it seemed like the higher income people with more disposable income were also the ones that appeared to be more disciplined with budgeting and watching the in and out of their money. Are people poor because they don't watch their money or do they not...
Different strokes for different folks. This thread pops up every now and then. BB10 is a great OS and it is really fast and easy.... once you learn how to use it.
Alas, that's probably what killed it. You would go to the cell phone store and there would be your selection of iPhones, BB and...
I would agree that the Deep Silence case is great. I like the styling on the FD Define Mini a little better and I can vouch for its performance.

You have to set up a user account for each person that needs access on each machine. If Bob wants to access files on a PC then Bob must have a password protected account on that machine. Just set up an account for each person on the server then you can control folder access by user name. It's...
Gravity's whole schtick was the isolation and hopelessness of being in space. You can't recreate that with a 27" TV in your bedroom from 14 feet away. If you don't have a big screen with big sound then you will be dissappointed.
Interstellar was a space movie. Moon was a drama set in space...
How do you "dig deep" on these Hard Drives. I picked up a couple of 3TB drives that were white label from GoHardDrive. They ended up being Hitachi drives and HD Sentinel reported them as new. Just curious what else I could use to look into it.
As long as your cable drops are clean Cat5e or Cat6 and aren't excessively long (hundreds of feet) you shouldn't see any noticeable performance dip. Just run a cable from a LAN port on the router to the 2nd jack in the living room and then from the corresponding jack in the patch panel to the...
Your biggest issue is the router in the living room. If the router is already ideally situated and there is more than one ethernet drop there, then just run a second connection back from the router to the patch panel and connect everything to a 16-port switch there.
Something like this will...
..... and that was posted when? If they marketed it that way after the transition to 1TB platters was completed then it's 100% truthful. And nowhere does it say that you are guaranteed to get it, anyway. It's merely a marketing piece trumpeting the fact that they were the first to market with...
That's stupid. No one lied about anything. It's still a 7200rpm 2TB drive. I never saw any marketing or materials that ever claimed a specific number of platters. If that's the case, how many times have CPU manufacturers lied when they changed processes.
A lot of the Seagate hate is coming from the 3TB drives that just don't seem to be as durable as other brands when they are put into service outside of their intended use (NAS, Server, etc.). I would be willing to bet that the average home user with one in their desktop tower would never know...
The only way he's scarred for life is because he'll have unrealistic expectations in the future since most future wives/girlfriends will be cutting him waaaayy back from 50 times in 2 months.
If Gigabit and wireless AC are not necessary, this router has been phenomenal in the 3 times I have used it:

Remember the Titans.
Same Denzel character as every other movie.
Is it a movie about sports with racial undertones?

I can't tell and I don't think anyone else can either. Commit already.
Every scene just pissed me off more and more.
I second the opinion that FreeNAS on a VM will probably leave you wanting something else. I like the Windows+Storage Spaces. Personally, I like Windows+FlexRAID or Windows+SnapRAID.
If windows isn't a necessity then unRAID is really good.
I have a Chromebox running OpenELEC and it is dead silent. There is a fan but I have never heard it kick on in the last 2 years. Four USB 3.0 ports is tough to beat.
That being said, if I were to invest in one right now I would probably get a Shield so I could get some online services like...
Correct, the performance would be limited by the actual array that stores the data.
If three disks went down in a RAIDZ2 then you would lose the data on that particular array. You would not lose the data on the other array(s) in the pool. The pool size would just shrink.
I believe that you...
This is probably pretty basic, but I am not a headphone guy. I am just looking for some over the ear headphones that I could pop into my tablet or phone to watch movies that can't be heard in a quiet room by the wife lying in bed next to me and trying to fall asleep. Kind of the reverse of...
Yeah, I missed that the first time around. Using the Denoise filter without a specific purpose in mind is a pointless way to needlessly reduce sharpness and grain and make your encode take a lot longer. I just leave it off unless I have a reason. Why would you really want to denoise a DVD or...
Those settings are almost identical to mine. I do get an outlier now and then. I just ripped and encoded Shindler's List and it came back at 25GB. The Transformers movies are also pretty consistently in the 18GB+ arena. Most of my animated stuff comes back ranging 3.5-4.5GB and typical BD...
