i'm using a Buffalo Terastation NAS (1TB in a Raid 5 configuration). Not sure where to get it there though...

[Horsepower]

sent you a PM on how you can get one.

horsepower, PM me rin oh....I just need a small one di naman big files ang shine-share namin in our office....

I inquired in a computer shop, they had a 500GB NAS php19,000...medyo expensive for our taste hehe....I would be able to make do with a 20GB one if there is such a thing. What we plan to do is just use the NAS as a transferring tool then save it on the regular HD...

but come to think of it the NAS can be also used as the hard drive for all our computers right? but still a 500GB NAS might be too big for us.

Will using a NAS give me more protection against data corruption/bad sector/etc?

same question here, I had a technician before who mentioned that with a device that is connected to all the computers, it will serve as the hard drive for all the computers and it will be well protected from viruses...I just don't know if he was referring to a server or NAS? (I don't even know what a server is hehehe)

cool! how was the bit******* client? is it faster in downloading than the software/pc-based? is it available here?

I ordered it from the web last February. Cost me $80. Based from my experience and setup, mas mabilis yung download nya ng ******* files as compared to downloading it directly to my laptop using software bit******* client.

[boybi]

wiretap, did you have it shipped here? Or were you in the US last Feb?

[wiretap_md]

Got it while I was in the US. The best thing about this is that it downloads the ******* files by itself. No need for a constantly on PC or Laptop just to download *******s.
