Hi,

Couple of weeks back i sold my external hard drive due to 'an offer i couldn't refuse' mafia style :D

Ok, so now i've decided to get a NAS, but which one..

think i'm going to get a ReadyNAS Duo as i currently need nowhere near 1Tb of space, that one is keenly priced and it should see me along nicely until the bigger (4 and 6 bay) units get a price drop..

can anyone recommend something different.. ?

I need ftp access, it must be able to stream at a decent rate to ps3 / xbox which i have heard can be an issue on some? of course, tools like bit torrent would be handy but isn't essential.

Also i have an ass load of amazon vouchers knocking around and would prefer to grab it from there if poss

thanks!

dammit, knew i'd get a response like that... should have said, no don't want to build it. ;)

I don't have a) the parts b) the time and c) the room for another pc

Long gone of the days when i could be bothered to tinker with comptuers, now i just buy laptops and use them for work.. how dull :(

Erm, if you don't want to build it, then I suggest something along the lines of Window Home Server. HP have a couple; there are other vendors. Google should help you out to identify the vendors and then just check there options and choose what you like :)

Also, a Drobo could be good (never tried it since I went DIY with my setup because it offers more flexibility)

i posted here after many weeks of googling, i'm after a "i have this NAS and i like it because x, y, z" answers

or links to a good roundup of pre built ones perhaps that is especially informative..

the drobo looks awesome to be honest, but it seems like other manufacturers also do the x-raid feature.. so i feel the price is inflated for no seemingly good reason.

I've a QNAP TS-210 that seems to do the job. I'm quite happy with it on the whole and their support staff were able to connect remotely and fix it when I made a mess of things.

and oooo, i've just watched the video on the QNAP and it looks awesome! thank you, will investigate more now :)

i'm not sure what a NAS is, but it sounds like he wants to set it up on his main desktop.

don't see why the freeNAS thing int eh first reply wouldn't have helped him.

here go buddy: http://en.wikipedia....ttached_storage

    • I'd say the first one failed to be as popular as Apple anticipated, but the easy adjustment here is to make fewer of them next time around. It would only be a "flop" if it isn't possible for Apple to recover the design and factory tooling costs given the number of units sold, which I doubt would be the case. It isn't like no one bought them; it just failed to become the new hot phone of the year.
    • You're right that it does not follow the plain meaning of the word, but in this context, it is a legal term defined in 49 U.S.C. Kind of how "wire fraud" laws apply even if a physical wire was not used. Given that it is codified in law, and it isn't just automotive journalists that don't understand evolving technology, I highly doubt congress would change a well understood term just because technology makes the term slightly less actuate.
    • This is exactly why I keep saying we are not ready for human free self-driving. These little "bugs" are may seem like random one-offs. There was also the Waymo that drove between police with drawn weapons and the suspect they were pointing them at. From a software perspective it is easy to understand how those extremely rare situations may not have been programed for, but that is the point. If AI needs to be told to watch out for every possible contingency, then it can never be successful. There will always be the possibility of a first encounter that the AI needs to understand to avoid.
