Product Survey: Multimedia Hard Drives
Handling The small frame of the Emtec hard drive is nice to look at, with the frame matching portions of black brused aluminium and others, on the sides, with white plastic. There's no scren on the front, meaning you'll need to turn on the TV even for listening to music. As soon as you switch it on, though, it's far less impressive. The manufacturer has put no effort into the onscreen interface in terms of looks or practicality. To tell you the truth, it's one of the worst we've seen in devices based on Realtek's 1073/12833 chip. It's ridiculous to see the tiny windows which can only display five folders or files at once--on a 1080p resolution display! It's also impossible to see thumnail previews of all the photos in a folder, or to display a video jukebox with info on every film and the covers from the DVD versions. The N200 is a long way behind the competition, especially given that its minimalist remote control is almost unuseable: the plastic feels cheap, it's a nightmare to use and the buttons are huge and ugly. DecodingThe hardware inside the N200 is a Realtek RTD1073 chip, which should offer compatibility with a lot of formats, but is poorly handled here. That means that some videos we tested encoded using H.264 or with too high a bitrate began to get out of sync and then slow down after about twenty minutes.
