and futting freenas on it?
So far i have had 40 views and no replies,is this because this piece of kit is no good or everbody today is not familiar with the set up i want.I gues i will have to wait untill someone has tried this and can give me an idea if it will work before i splash out and buy one.
Cheers so far
most nas'es will work just fine.
some have issues with the smb client in xbmc though - do a search. i won't do that for you ;)
oh, and look what i stumbled upon.

i'm seriously doubting the amount of research you have put into this...........
Oh i can asure you i have spent many a hour doping research on this over the last couple of weeks.
Some people have had great results some terrible results and cannot connect at all to their nas device.
I paid out £150 for one such item that was working for one person but would not ork on my setup.
All i was aking is the items i pointed out ,will they work basically out of the box to stream my films,music,pics etc.
Cheers
After more searching and reading i am finally go to go for the WD NetCenter 320GB Ethernet Network Drive from this list http://www.xboxmediacenter.com/wiki/index.php?title=Nas#NAS_devices_that_work_with_XBM C
Now my question is has anyone got this setup on there xbox and was it easy and straight forward to setup or where there any pitfall that made it hard work to setup?
Cheers
Hi there andru, i have no info to offer on the nas's you are looking at at the moment, but i'd just like to place a good word for NASLite+ (I've got the USB version), which is worth every penny of its licence cost.
I personnally have 1.2 TB of storage in a PentiumIII PC networked through a router, accessible by both computers (Macs running OS X) and the xbox. Music and films are on there, and it's thhe easiest thing to setup.
It really works sensationally well, never, EVER had the smallest problem with it. I'd really recommend you check it out if you don'ta already know it.
