Currenty have a PC in my lounge that holds all my music and various DVD rips.
In the bedroom I have an XBOX running XBMC.
The xbox is connected to my PC via Panasonic 'Home Plugs'. So currently, providing my pc is on, I have full access to Music and Video that resides on my PC via XBMC.
MY Pc is running out of space, so instead of just adding a new harddrive, I thought Id see what my options were with regard to a solution that does not require my PC to be permanently on for the Xbox to access the media.
Would I be right in thinking I need a NAS Drive?! Not too clued up on networking etc so any points be gratefully received!
Ideally a storage solution that frees up my PC and is accessible from both the PC and the XBOX to view various media types. Essentially I want to remove the need for PC to be on to use the XBOX to view media!
Any pointers would be good!
