..please, because I know nothing about them.
Currently I am running my desktop PC 24x7 so I have access to content via wired DLNA in 2 LED panels in other rooms of the house, and in one of them I have an eeebox which I only turn on when I need it. (The Wife prefers the DLNA as its very easy to find what she needs so I need to keep that option)
Currently I have 4TB worth of WD Mybooks on my desk and its a bit silly now, so I would rather have everything on one device and be able to access it from my TVs or HTPC without turning my desktop on, and if the Desktop fails, as it might, I can still keep the family entertained.
The NAS needs to have DLNA, at least 8TB storage, capable of running utorrent would be nice.. but not essential.. and able to make regular backups from my desktop.
Above all.. it needs to be easy to use!
I have looked around my local stores and could only find these options..
Seagate NAS400 8 or 12TB
iOmega Storcentre ix4-200d
Netgear Ultra4
They all seem to have DLNA, but are they more small business than Media storage?
Budget: max of around 800 of your English pounds. But less would be preferred if it ticks all the boxes.
I do have limited options locally but if there is something that suits me perfectly I can always get it shipped.
Thanks in advance guys
