    Hello I'm shopping for a multimedia external 2.5" e-sata/usb2 case that could play video on my T.V. but I can't find any in depth review. Do you know where I can find one (canada or usa) or where I should post.

    Also I read a while ago that some people had problem with there e-sata port on the M860tu, how did it turn out, did they solve the problem? (I can't find the post).

    When you say multimedia external hard drive, are you looking for a standalone function or an addition to your tivo/existing media center/laptop? I believe there is a standalone ext. hdd one the market but it is very expensive. In regards to a hard drive that will handle media for tv purposes, any high density 5.4k drive will work, Rosewill, ICY Dock, etc.

    Actually I have a 320go 2.5" HD that I want to use in a external case a bit like this one but first of all I can't find a Canada/USA reseller with multiple choise and I can't find a good review (video/sound output quality, codec working properly, ease of use etc.)
