I should also add that you shouldn't get too hung up on getting a NAS. Most of them are closed systems and designed to run file server software, which is less demanding than SBS. Instead, give a careful look at low-powered computers, which are more flexible than NASs, more powerful than most NASs, and sometimes just as energy efficient. And just like a NAS you can run them headless (with no monitor, keyboard, or mouse), instead logging in from another computer. And don't forget that NASs are simply low-powered, specialized computers.
Which reminds me...you posted in the SBS forum that you're planning to connect the NAS directly to the Touch, with no home network. How are you planning to put your music on the NAS? Disconnect it from the Touch, connect it to your computer, transfer files, then reconnect it to the Touch? That's certainly doing things the hard way. You would also be giving up a lot of the control of SBS, since if the NAS isn't on a home network then the only way you can connect to it is through the Touch. The Touch simply doesn't have the UI for a lot of the settings you might like to configure on whatever device you have running SBS. Presumably you have your reasons for wanting to do things this way, but I don't really get it yet. -- aubuti ------------------------------------------------------------------------ aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=80602 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
