I noticed Network Attached Storage has been coming down in price, so I figures I'd get myself a NAS drive for backup and streaming audio over the network. If I'm correct, I just plug it into the router, and it's accessible over the network, right?
Now for what to get:
Looking at the cheapo options, there's a
freecom 250gig at £100 (ebuyer)
Buffalo and Lacie 250G drives come in at around £130 also from ebuyer). There's not much info on the drive that's in it though.
So, I noticed that scan do an
icybox enclosure at £45. I presume I can just bung any IDE disk in there? (e.g get a nice 250G Seagate at £55 and be done with it?
Am I overlooking something. Any recommendations?
TIA
