starting out with NAS

execut1ve · Aug 28, 2013

I'm looking to start using NAS plus some kind of media player to get rid of my DVD library and DVD player. I'm having a lot of trouble discerning what attributes will be important in a NAS for that purpose, and I'm totally lost on a good media player for the setup. I welcome any and all suggestions!

JackNaylorPE :

These bolth look like very promising solutions for the NAS. I guess I'd also have to get some drives to put in them - I've heard good things about the WD red drives for NAS. any thoughts as to the media player?

I'm partial to the Seagate 7200.12 3TB jobs ....but havent put a 3TB in a NAS yet

You dont put the media player in your NAS, it just sends the file much like a remote hardddrive. The player you load into the PC. If you have win7 you have Media Center already.

I should have specified, I meant a set-top box
