The ASUS BW-12B1ST is basically a rebadged LiteON iHBS112

About 400 dvd's and bluray collection is growing . I plan to just burn my dvd library to the 2tb and hold off on the bluray backups till I build my nas( when hdd prices come back down). Thinking probably a 10 drive unRAID setup. Do you see a problem with the bluray burner ?

Blu-ray drive always come in handy when you need it. I never build any HTPC's without it! Smile

Got.the case apart, removed psuand front cover plate. Just wanted to test fit BD drive and psu, I heard rhere might be some clearance issues on the power plugs. Everything has plenty of clearance the BD players plugs are offset from the psu. That's about it till I get my mobo tomorrow? As far as mounting the. Ssd can I just double aide tape it below the 3.5 drive that will house the wd green?

1QWK510 · 2012-01-10, 04:37

Am I gonna need anything to mount the wd20ears in the mi-008 case?

eskro · 2012-01-10, 04:46
