I am looking for a new NAS (any type of network drive). My plan is to have our two Macs (iMac & MacBook) use it for Time Machine backups and also be a file share location (for pictures and documents). I am guessing that I would need to break up the network drive into 3 partitions (with the correct Mac formatting done on them).
I found an Iomega drive that I am interested in, but there web page is confusing me a bit. They state that a network storage drive is not compatible with Time Machine. Linky to info They stat "Time Machine requires a direct-attached hard drive". I find that strang since Apple sells Time Capsule, and it essentually does what I am wanting.
Am I looking into this to much? Or will my plan work? Here is a link to the drive I am thinking of getting... Drive Link
