NAS - Is this it?

[lky2k23]

Just seen this;
Netgear 1TB Home Media Server at PC World - Buy cheap Network External Hard Drives - Netgear 1TB Home Media Server Shared home storage

Would that work for a NAS for me to stream via xbox/squeezebox?

It sounds like it should be fine although it is no cheaper than other 1TB Nas units such as the Western Digital My Book World which retails at around £160.

ok - is the reason i would buy this;
Netgear ReadyNAS Duo RND2000 Home Storage Solution: Amazon.co.uk: Electronics & Photo

rather then then 'my book world' the upgradability option?

The Stora has limitations if trying to set up for a 'new' share - I was setting up for Sonos rather than Squeezebox but made a few comments here: http://www.avforums.com/forums/stre...91-caveat-emptor-sonos-netgear-stora-osx.html

If I was to buy a NAS again I probably would go for the ReadyNAS unit over the Stora ...

Amazon are doing this one for a midge under £114.

The 1TB Netgear Stora is reduced to 119.99 on Amazon.co.uk - just got one delivered yesterday.

My advice would be to buy a two bay nas - nothing worse than ripping all those cd's

Network Storage – Silent Storage for the Digital Home

Oh and chuck it on amazon S3 for offsite backups as well!
