a HD uses about 10 watts, not sure what the NAS uses. the radio station has it always on, but a home user could configure it to power down the drives after so much time. if you need 1.3TB of redundant storage, it seems to me to be in fact the best low energy way to do it, compared to a full fledged computer. the thread was about simple ways to do it all in one, and so i think it wasn't pc vs nas so much as how to best answer that question. i do think though that logitech wants a way to do it sans PC, b/c then u have a device anyone can use, (think tivo) and the only real challenge is in figuring out how to have storage accesible to it, (which i think mapping drives wirelessly or hooking up ext storage via flash or usb solves) -- MrSinatra www.LION-Radio.org Using: Squeezebox2 w/SS 6.5.5 (beta!?) - Win XP Pro SP2 - 3.2ghz / 2gig ram - D-Link DIR-655 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ MrSinatra's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2336 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=43198 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
