Product Survey: Multimedia Hard Drives and Media Centres

The LaCinema Mini HD is effectively a mini version of LaCie's Classic HD media centre. As well as its compact design, the Mini HD has Wi-Fi N connectivity and exactly the same decoder chip as the 'full size' version. Will it be the next must-have? At first glance, the similarity with the Classic HD is obvious, as it has the same shiny brick-style casing designed by Neil Poulton. It is, however, much smaller, and features a 500 GB 2.5-inch hard drive. Be careful which model you pick though, as LaCie has a very similar media centre with no hard drive and no Wi-Fi (LaCinema Mini HD Connect). A small fan helps remove hot air from inside the system. However, just like the Classic HD, the decoder chip is placed towards the bottom of the device and has no heatsink. Worse still, it doesn't benefit from the cooling effect of the fan. The chip can therefore reach temperatures of 65°C after 20 minutes of continuous playback in a 21°C room. We dread to think how hot it would get at the height of summer, in a small room and with the media centre in a TV cabinet! In fact, most other manufacturers using this chip (in one of its various versions) seem to integrate an aluminium heatsink, sometimes with a fan mounted on top (PCH A-200).
