Thanks for quick response. I had seen through this link, and some more. Sorry, I did not mention it in my mail. However, they talk about running a file server connected to network. Whereas, the network storage drives (from Seagate or Western Digital) connect to the router - all the hardware is contained in the disk enclosure itself. I was wondering if I can use the same. Looks like I need to use a old desktop as file server if I want to be certain about storing and accessing my data from any connected devices. Thanks once again for the help.
