Hi all, thought I might chime in here with a piece of hardware I have found has solved alot of my home file storage issues. The "My Book World Edition" networked hard drive is very easy to set up and offers the home user a terabyte of storage for all your media needs at a very cost effective pricepoint. Access speeds can be optimized with a gigabit ethernet port (most techy rehabs have gigabit for their home networks :) and with an additional USB port you can daisy chain another drive if you fill this one. The network access was the big thing I was looking for, with several computers in the house, adding hardisk to each one was becomming an exercise in reformatting and rebuilding. itunes and other media files are getting easier and easier to access on the internet and where else better to store them than onyou own networked storage device.
The lack of RAID support was a bit of a ding in reviews but for my home network I was looking for something that would be easy for everyone in the family to use. I know there are other solutions out there and many that are as cost effective, I would be interested to hear what others are using.
