thanks for the input phil. i think a nas works best for me because i can't drag the hd around with my laptop. that seagate blackarmor was only $165 at bb and $99 for a 1tb iomega usb hd for backup. i think i may send the readynas duo back and go this route. i may have to exchange the blackarmor i have as it is acting odd. everytime my laptop connects it gives an error message that the drive needs to be installed. if it even has one, it is supposed to be on windows (vista). it also has trouble durrring file transfers. i have been trying to move a 90gb music mile and a couple of times during the transfer it locks up and i have to skip files. it also seems to have doubled many songs. i am really frustrated. this has been going on for days!
the up side is the blackarmor configuration plays well with sbs. runs super smooth and responsive. rips and scans are very fast too. -- richardw ------------------------------------------------------------------------ richardw's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=32135 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=74591 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
