I hate them.
I have a WD 1TB NAS drive that always crashes / stops responding and i have to pull the plug on the back and turn it back on (takes 5 mins to become active again)
I've tried resets, firmware updates etc.
Anyone else have these problems with NAS drives?
Sorry, don't have one, Paul.
I've got a 250Gb Buffalo one that's been running for over 3 years with no problem at all. :fingers:
bah, knew i should of got a buffalo, used to use them at my old office. But thought WD being a big brand it would work.. :eyebrow:
Didn't they have DRM issues?

Only if you wanted access to your movies/music from outside the office/house
Other than that, streaming music from it is fine.. when the bloody thing works!

Same here. Even upgraded the hard drive to a 1.5TB recently.
There may be an alternative to NAS now

I'm toying with the idea of getting one to attach my printers, external drive and -ermmmmm - something else to.

Oh goody, a new toy! ;D
I think it should work well if my Apple router is anything to go by, don't have any hassle with attached usb drives and usb printers.
We'll await Steve's testing, Steve. ;D
My no-name Raid 1 NAS works fine, I can't remember the last time I accessed it for maintenance, it just sits there all but forgotten.
Well, send it a Christmas card then, Alan. ;)
