Re:External Network HDD...now this is better!

[Gilbern74]

Just found this device - Netgear SC101 Storage Central (NW-081-NG)
- which makes a lot more sense to me than a single network drive like the Freecom one that I asked about in my other thread...it means I can just use my old IDE drives in there. Great!

So....can anyone recommend this or have any bad points to tell me before I buy?

Well I've gone and bought the Netgear SC101 now. I also bought a new 160Gb Maxtor SATA II for the PC. It means I can start by putting my old IDE's (120Gb and 40Gb) in the Netgear and sharing all MP3's and videos with the kids, as well as having storage and backup space. Total space now of 320Gb for £130 seems reasonable to me.
Quite looking forward to getting it and setting up my home LAN.
