Wireless Hard Drive Enclosures?

[Schweppy]

Anyone recommend me one?

Want it for storing media for my MacBook and for backing up via Time Machine so need 1TB minimum.

Apple have just update Time Capsule to 1TB and 2TB but i still don't really want to spend £240 on one when i can buy a 3.5" 1TB HD for £50.

Cheers

can you not just plug a NAS drive into your wireless router?

 

[Schweppy]

Just thinking that lol.

Know any good ones?

 

[Dink]

i used to have a 1TB mybook world

but i wouldn't recommend it as it was too slow

i just run a pc as a samba server now

 

[Schweppy]

explain samba lol.

 

[Dink]

lol i wish i could

it's just a way of sharing files with windose and linux

 

[Schweppy]

hmmmmmm.

Samba, is the file sharing in ubuntu isn't it?

i've also been thinking of running a PC as NAS with some HDD's running RAID 5.

seems simple enough, not sure whether to use Software or Hardware Raid Controllers though?

 

[Dink]

yeah it is running on an ubuntu machine but i've got the shares setup as network drives in vista
