NetDisk Storage Device

DaMachine · 09-07-2007, 12:12 PM

I posted on here a few weeks back asking for advice on which network storage device to get. I picked on and have had it for a few days so far and just wanted to let everyone know how it worked. I chose the NetDisk storage device being sold by J&R Music and Computer (not trying to plug J&R just saying where I got it from) right now. Anyways, it works great so far. I moved all my movies and music onto it since my desktop’s hard drives were getting to full. Now I can access all of the movies and music from my desktop or laptop from anywhere in the apartment as long as they are connected to my network. The movies stream in just fine under the wireless connection. The only problem I have noticed so far is that my computer doesn’t always pick up the drive over wireless. This is pretty easily solved by just mounting the drive again, which takes about 3 minutes.

If you are in the market for something like this then I suggest you at least look at this one. The name and model number is below.

I have a Terastation from Buffalo that works really good too.

FYI: If you have Vista, you need to insure that the device you pick offers Vista compatibility, because many of the current generation NAS boxes on the market do NOT offer Vista compatibility.

The NetDisk is Vista capable. I have one XP computer (my desktop) and one Vista computer (my laptop). It works just as good on each on them.
