Re: IPod as hard drive for PT
What do you mean by slow? It would take longer for PT to update every minute? Would you be better off setting PT to grab new hands every 5 mins as opposed to 1? I assumed it didnt have 7200 RPM's but I didnt know if if is really practical or by you saying it is slow but will work, if it is efficient. Will it cause my computer to stall or crash poker tracker or something in the midst of sending data back and forth off of it?
Also, is it more likely that the ipod will break from such use? |

Re: IPod as hard drive for PT
I use my iPod to store HH files/databases that I transfer between my laptop and desktop, but I copy them to the computer's hard drive before loading them, rather than load them straight from the iPod's hard drive. I agree with OrcaDK that loading them from the iPod's hard drive would slow down PT (maybe even by a lot), though I'm not so sure.
Another problem is that I've had files stored on my iPod that were somehow deleted without me touching them. I'm not sure what caused this, be it iTunes or whatnot, but you should definitely look into this before storing irreplecable data on your iPod. |

Re: IPod as hard drive for PT
Yeah, PT would take longer to import the hands, show the data and such. This will also include PA Hud / PV / GT+. It will most likely work, and it won't cause your computer to stall, at worst PT will stall.
Theoretically yes, the iPod will sustain an increased wear, but i doubt it'll be noticable. There'll be a new iPod or ten out by the time this one breaks anyway [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] |
