Topic: HElP! Set-up NAS at home

[asciole]

Hi Pdvd masters,

I know it's been asked a lot of times already but I can't seem to grasp the whole picture(noob!hehe).

I'm planning to buy a mediasonic prob0x 4 bay enclosure and an NMT. I will place all our family videos and photos on a single hDD and movies on another HDD.

Here are my questions:
1.HOw can I access it thru wifi?
Probox -> NMT -> router -> laptop?
2. Will streaming 1080p videos be a problem thru wifi /Lan if for example 4 laptops are accessing it and i'm playing a movie in the nmt to the home theater?

Any help is highly appreciated!

Your NMT must be able to share the Probox either as DLNA server or as a Samba network drive. Make sure your NMT has that capability. In addition, the NMT must recognize more than one drive through USB or eSata.

2. Will streaming 1080p videos be a problem thru wifi /Lan if for example 4 laptops are accessing it and i'm playing a movie in the nmt to the home theater?

You are probably asking too much out of this setup.
