Recommendations for a NAS

**myf360f1** · 01-08-12, 10:14 AM

Hi All,

Looking at a simple network storage device to store files, and that can be accessed from all the PC's on the network. Doesn't need all the bells and whistles something basic that I can plug into the router and can store data.

Looking for members personal recommendations please.

Thank you

I've been using a Western Digital Network Hard Drive which is priced reasonably and has worked well. It is plugged directly in the router and shares multimedia content and other files throughout the house. I've had it now for about 6 months and so far are very satisfied with it.

Thanks DB does it have a model number I can reference?

The link below is to one discount computer shop, orangeit, with a couple of different models. The one I've been using is the 2TB Home Media HDD. I have no use for the "cloud" feature.

Thanks DB will certainly have a look at those.

I use a WD network HDD as mentioned above and its easy to use, the web if is very good and has frequent updates. The transfer speed is 20+mbps and much faster than my Linksys NAS. Shop around to get the best price, I have the 2tb version.
