Yesterday I bought a Gigabit switch and a BluRay rewriter. The switch was mainly necessary because of the NAS-disk. Accessing it from several computers via 100Mbit makes the drive feel sluggish. Now on Gbit, it’s a lot faster. Of course the actual read and write times didn’t change, but browsing it and (dis)connecting it is faster.<\/p>\n
After my last system upgrade, I found that I still had a PATA DVD-burner and the new motherboard only has 1 PATA connection (for two drives). Since I have two PATA drives in the system, I had to buy another burner. Instead of being el-cheapo and buying one for about 20-25 euro, I bought a BluRay-rewriter. The LG GGW-H20L<\/a>. It’s not an easy task to play BluRay movies under Ubuntu, but creating them (since I own Nero Linux) is easy. The drive was recognized by Ubuntu and by Nero, and in no time I burned my first (rewritable) disc.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Yesterday I bought a Gigabit switch and a BluRay rewriter.
