Hi, I am looking for NAS for my home use. I want to store data so that it may be accessed through multiple devices - laptops and smart phones through WiFi network connection. At present, I a using SuSE and Ubuntu Linux on my laptops. I have a broadband connection, accessed through WiFi router (Belkin N150). The router has 4 Ethernet ports, currently unused. I am planning to connect the NAS drive to one of the Ethernet ports on the router.
I looked through Seagate and Western Digital websites. Both of them have NAS products/personal cloud products. Both of them specify Windows and MAC OS as the supported operating systems. Linux is not specified. Does it mean that NAS drives from these manufacturers won't be useful for me at my home? Or does it mean that I need to make some changes to some settings (if available) to access the drive through laptops and smart phone? Or does it mean that Windows or MAC OS is necessary for initial set-up (That is manageable). Or ... Any experience? Any suggestion for useful drive for home use? Any place (retailer, dealer) where I can buy the same? Thanks, Vikas Garud _______________________________________ Pune GNU/Linux Users Group Mailing List
