[QUOTE="jamesm, post: 57869, member: 20871"] I'm thinking of getting a network based hard drive to store my media files on so i dont have to keep my other pc switched on all the time. i've had a look around and i found 2 that sounded ok Netgear SC101 (approx £80)**does not come with any hard drives** 200Gb Maxtor shared storage plus (£100) i liked the easy upgradabilty of the sc101 but found some issues on the netgear user forum concerning the hard drive sleep feature and the fact that it wont wake up without having to reboot everything. plus a few other problems. the problem i have is getting some reliable info about the maxtor version concerning the hard drive sleep feature does it work properly. are there any problems i should know about that would affect me using it to stream music and video files to mediaportal. how easy is it to use. Any help or alternatives would be grately appreciated. James [/QUOTE]
