| Re: Network Storage I'd recommend anything by Synology. I've had a DS207 for a few years now. It's truly excellent for backing up data. I use it for a number of other things too like an ftp/web server as well as a subversion server. It streams videos/music/photos to any DLNA compliant device too such as xbox/ps3 or windows media player. Really couldn't recommend it enough! |

| Re: Network Storage Another vote for Synology here. I've got one of their 1 bay NAS units and it's fanastic for streaming stuff to the various xbox 360 consoles I've got around the house  ---- Why do Computer Scientists get Halloween and Christmas mixed up? Because Oct. 31 = Dec. 25. |

| Re: Network Storage Synology and QNAP both make great little NAS boxes. You'd do well with either. Originally Posted by Agent
