Hi guys. I am completely new to the whole NAS scenario and I was wondering if NAS can do the following....
- be the shared storage for all computers who connect to the same router that the NAS is on for reading and/or writing?
- connect to my ps3 for streaming?
- back up pictures, music, documents automatically? this probably requires a special software rather than NAS...
- able to retrieve contents of NAS from another computer via internet?
Please enlighten me on other cool stuff NAS can do and recommend a beginner NAS enclosure and type of hard drives best suited for the job. My budget is not too much...probably around $150-200 (with drives hopefully)
P.S. with using NAS, is wifi acceptable? or should I use powerline adapter to achieve wired connection?
Thank you guys so much.
