NAS vs. Shared HDD on Home LAN – Pros and Cons
LockedI am considering adding additional network storage to my home LAN. It consists 3 desktop PCs running WIN XP Home on Linksys gigabit NICs. One of the PCs is used infrequently and has room for additional HDDs. I am considering adding 1TB to this unit and setting the share permissions to save $$$ and exploit the gigabit LAN since most low cost NAS units are only 10/100. Am I overlooking something here that would make this a no-go? Or is there a compelling reason to use NAS over this concept?
