Hi
I have decided I need (want) a NAS device. I’ll primarily use it for my iTunes music so I can access it from all my computers (Mac Mini, Macbook and a Dell with XP). When it comes to networking I’m a bit of a dunce, so would appreciate it if you guys can confirm the following:
1) Will the NAS just appear as another drive on my Mac desktop like an external drive does? And in “My Computer” on Windows?
2) Can the drive be accessed over the Internet? E.g., from work? If so, how secure is this?
3) I have a MyBook for back-ups, so have been looking at the MyBook world as it would look nice with my current setup. The WD website says it’s Windows only – is that right? Surely if it’s accessible via the Internet then it wouldn’t matter whether it’s OSX/Windows/whatever.
Thanks in advance for your help!
