    Not bad, but for not much more than their top version, you can get last year's model of the HP MediaSmart server

    These NAS things are starting to sound pretty appealing to me. Did some research this morning and found that there are quite a few options. This looks like it is great as far as the interface and ease of use for non-technical people, but the cost is a little more than I want to spend on a networked storage device. I found this other NAS adapter from Linksys that allows two USB hard-drives to be connected via ethernet to the router, which seems ideal, but it's not quite as user friendly and seems to have been discontinued by Linksys. There's the upcoming Addonics USB NAS adapter, but that looks even less user friendly and really designed for straight FTP. Maybe I just need to do more research into this, but if anyone wants to point me to other solutions that allow for webstreaming, I'd appreciate it.


    Until then, I'm going to explore this LiveSync thing, which seems to offer quite a bit of functionality, though there really isn't much documentation on it from Microsoft.

    @weatherman: on the subject of Microsoft LiveSync aka FolderShare, can anyone tell me if it only syncs between two computers that are on, or if it provides a space in "the cloud" for storing files? I'm seeing that Microsoft also has this Skydrive thing that has up to 25GB of online storage space, but I can't tell if it's automatically connected or even possible to connect with LiveSync.

    looks idiot-proof. if they add better support for firefox or opera (especially opera mobile and wii), I'm down for sure.


    pricing model looks a little wonky.

    Remote access. BUT much better if it had a remote.

    @Joshua Foster: If you need a remote for this you should probably rethink your streaming media setup.


    PS. I heard you're getting recalled. Back to the BHR you go!! :P
