I currently have 2 hdds.. 1 for os/progs etc and a slave (fnar) for my itune music, pics, files I want to keep etc so a fresh install is a reasonably trauma free occurence..
I'm in a shuttle now and I need to ditch one of the hdds to make room for the watercooling and I figured I could put a drive in a NAS box and wire it in to my router.. win-win because the hdd with the important stuff on like family photos etc is removed from the pc altogether so if it tries to do an impression of a swimming pool I'm covered.
Question is, will a wired connection through my router to my shuttle allow me all the same functionality of a normal sata hdd? it will I be able to point itunes at it and play my music over the network? etc etc or is NAS just for backup?
