However even though I now know what box to use I was wondering if someone could tell me if http://www.amazon.co.uk/D-Link-ShareCent...=de_a_smtd would work well as the network storage?. My goal would be to stick 2x2tb drives in it (probably WD greens as people here seem to rate them) and eliminate my dvd collection.
Many thanks for any advice you can provide.
I have the exact same one - only running 1 2tb WD Green at the moment, as my library isn't huge yet. Works well - no issues encountered streaming to my ATV2 and my Win7 machine.
