    NAS Drive advice and streaming advice please.

    I'm asking this for a mate, so not too many questions back to me please, as I probably won't know the answer...! (Though I'll try, obviously...!)

    He wants to get a NAS drive, and stream to his 360 in HD (whatever).

    His 360 is legit and unmodded.

    Is there a particular NAS drive that works better than others...?

    What else does he need, or need to do once he's got the NAS drive...?

    Cheers...

    Blimey, that's a bit steep isn't it...?

    Can you not just use a normal, run of the mill NAS drive then...???

    this is slightly cheaper, but doesnt come with any drives: [ame]http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000GK8LVE/interactiveda3023-21[/ame]

    Any NAS you pick up will be slightly more expensive than a good external HDD.

    Hmm, ok, thanks for this, I think we might be getting somewhere now then...

    He (my mate with the 360) was considering something like this Western Digital My Book World Edition Drive. (Or something along those lines anyway I believe.)

    Would that not be possible then...?

    Thanks again for help guys...!

    I am not sure this is a true NAS, it may need additional software installed on a PC for it to behave like a disk drive...

    I have seen a review for a cheap desktop SAN somewhere also, this could also be a better alternative.

    That's the drive I've got and it's excellent.

    It's linux based so you can use it for all manner of interesting things. I'm running twonky on it for streaming to the 360 and it's flawless.

    Would definitely recommend it.

    Interesting. Thanks for that Cydine....

    I'll do some Google runs of Twonky and see what it's all about...
