Why? If you need network accessible storage, you need network accessible storage. Doesn't matter what operating system(s) you're running. The term "NAS" has taken on a bizarre definition in these forums to mean something like a "box that runs SlimServer so I don't have to have a computer running". It means "network attached storage", and that's all. A (usually) quick and easy to configure device that adds file storage to a network. > external firewire disks are much faster. Not necessarily. Internal disks are almost certain to be faster, but external firewire or USB disks should be slower than accessing files served over a Gbit network from a good file server. Depends on the file server and depends on the client implementation. The client implementation appears to be the problem with SlimServer-on-Windows connecting to an NAS. -- JJZolx Jim ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=34325 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
