[QUOTE="ovbg, post: 1317528, member: 162687"] Thanks for the Synology tip. Can I ask some questions here? 1) How easy is this to set up for Time Machine? 2) Hmmm, as a NAS, maybe I can use this also as my SqueezeCenter Media Center. I just checked and both the Synology and QNAP allow this. I am assuming that despite being at the end of a Homeplug, it would still be seen by everything else on my network? 3) Would I need to place two hard drives of the same size inside? I would probably get the 2 Bay system and don't plan on any RAID (I just can't afford a redundant RAID system). But I have a spare 1.5TB drive so I would like to add a 2nd 2TB drive which should give me enough. I know some NAS devices require both drives to be the same. [/QUOTE]
