My latest acquisition, an ICY BOX
- Thread starter RiO
- Start date
@faheem, no worries... hope this explains it:
1. Yes, the NAS box is connected to my wireless router - so any device connected to the router can access data on the NAS box which acts as a simple file server.
2. The NAS box is doing all the downloading on the hard drives installed, so the downloading is independent of all computers connected to the network/device.
It shouldn't be too confusing because it's like a download PC/file server, minus the PC - or you could say it is an external HDD that can do some fancy things

This is usually best bang for the buck not to mention recycling lower end hardware which consumes less power anyway. Sticking it in a case with space for Hds will give you much more life.

Not following wrt to what those speeds refer to ?
What software do you use to manage data + Music ?
..the brains of the operation as opposed to the brawn, which could be anything on any oS on any hardware.
Cranium 1.0 only gets so far

How is it connected to your wireless router? Through an ethernet cable?
Is it connected to your PC via USB? Or does it have an IP address?
If your NAS box is doing the downloading, I guess you will have to start up a downloading torrent client s/w like uTorrent. Right? Now where does this client reside? In the NAS box firmware?
So, do you login to your NAS box via HTTP using IE/FF? Also, what kind of client do you use for download?

Congrats Rio.
Gr8 buy must say.

varkey's right on all counts, and like any other device the NAS box is assigned an IP address automatically or you can manually assign one.
sydras, the GUI is accessible via any browser... here's what it looks like, so you get the general idea:
blr_p, those are the access speeds to the hard drives set up in your NAS box - RAID 0 should be faster, but I haven't tested it. My drives are set up in Span RAID.

Congrats. That's really cool pricing. I'd definitely get one if somebody on TE ordered on of these (no credit card ).
I've given up on getting something like that here. Was thinking of building one myself running on Linux. Have been googling stuff on Linux for the past few days but not getting anywhere.
hey, KMD, u reading this :hap2: ?
