Where's the TCP/IP connection? Where's the media server? Most people have a router at home and would prefer such a backup sytem to be networked with the content available to ALL PCs/PDA's/Laptops/MediaCentres, etc.

This is a BIG mistake/ommission by WD to not include an ethernet port connection.

Buffalo Linkstation still wins hands-down.

i spose we would have to define "normal".. but once u have it u aint got to worry about storage space.. i tend to use usb drives instead of dvd burning.. i have three of em so far in my stack.. he he

probably too expensive for me thow.. tooo far above the sweet spot..

Its a shame this thing hasn't got ethernet. It would look good with my HP 9200c digital sender sitting on the bookshelf. No more need to keep any more books. Turn 'em all into PDF's automatically.

Well, power usage of a homemade NAS would be way higher.

Or does anyone know a good DIY NAS thingy with an Epia board or so?
