Only problem with that is it requires the "host" PC to be on in order to use the data on them. Also, having had a 320gb drive as a secondary storage device in my (main) PC, for some reason, it will only transfer in PMA ONLY mode, and not ULTRA DMA, so whilst playback of MP3 upto 320k is faultless, any larger bitrate files, such as lossless audio tracks or DVD rips, AVI's etc, the playback is stuttery and you get sound dropouts and "pops" - not good!

The bonus to the NAS server I've had so far have been great - can turn my PC on downstairs and play all my media, or the same with my PC upstairs. I've even had it playing a film to the downstairs PC and me upstairs listening to the audio stored on it simultaniously with no probs!

Frog - Yeah I must admit, I thought that about the IDE vs SATA
