I have my MX2424, with internal hard drive working well, and my external drive being fed from rear panel SCSI Wide, as back up.
Working well, totally efficient
Running OS V3.10, with 256mb memory installed.
Stumbled in to a Rhino Jr front panel SCSI Hot Swap drive, that was not working, but after two days of
tinkering with it, I realized that the fact that the lock was jammed from an impact, was the reason it wasn't working.
Carefully played with the tumblers in the lock, and it finally came unjammed.
Installed it in a working Tascam MX2424 and it came to life!
Ran several tests; New program, rec, play, smart copy.. All is well with the Rhino Jr now.
My question is; Should I install the Rhino Jr in my primary MX2424 in order to have more Hard drive space, and to use it for back ups? (This would be in ADDITION to the working back up external drive I mentioned above)
OR; Should I remove the drive itself from Rhino Jr and place it in a proper external housing, (it's cheap to buy the housing) and put that unit inline after the first external drive, as a second external SCSI?
Wouldn't the 2nd external SCSI idea keep things cooler in the Tascam, therefore increasing long term overall reliability?
That is what I thought I read somewhere..
Anyone who has an opinion, or,
are you still around, Alan? Cheers... Dan
