But Its not as easy as that as your drive will probably be FAT32 or NTFS... which is a windows based file system. The NAS will be running some sort of linux on it (to keep the cost down) which uses ext2/3 etc. The drives will need to be formatted to ext2/3 or whatever it is before they can actaully be read by the NAS... This means putting all the data on another drive, then formatting the drive, then putting the information back on it before chucking it into your NAS... Then again you could find a nas that supports NTFS.. but they are generally more expensive! And ive heard that NAS drives are not that fast... [Edited on 18-05-2009 by moka] | |

built in ftp is useful too, you can store your documents on it then access them from any computer over the internet :) | |

they are called NAS (Network Attached Storage), either enclosures to put in your own drives, or all in one units. Ive just bought this one for my network at home which accepts two SATA drives of any size (I got 2x 1TB) | |

I'm looking for a hard disc or some sort of flash drive which could be plugged into a router via ethernet possibly? to act as a sort of middle man to handle shared files. |
