Hi All,
I've recently decided to get a NAS storage device which ideally would have the ability to be accessed when not at home and/or allow external users to access files/folders (Family etc).
I considered the Time Capsule but as this cant be accessed away from home discounted it at this stage.
I brought a WD My Book Live but will be taking it back today as the transfer rates are very slow. It took over 2 days to transfer 80GB and accessing files from my Mac Book Pro is also slow.
So, my question is: Do you have any suggestions on which to go for? In terms of budget, I'd really like to get some thing in the $300-500 bracket and it will only be serving 1 laptop.
I like the look of LaCie products but wonder if I will have the same issues.
I hope that somebody can give me some guides...
Thanks in advance
