Glad to help. There is another advantage of the airport extreme. It has a
line out/digital optical out port that you can hook up to a stereo. You can
play music from your iTunes on your computer, iPad, iPhone etc.

OK, so I think that I can go with the Airport Extreme and use my existing HDD
attached to it to make my own cloud server. Airport is just a wireless router
so yeah, all my stuff will talk to it. Looks pretty easy to set up as well.

This sounds complicated. If you're looking for home cloud sharing how about
Tonido? I went with the pro so I can mount it as a drive on all my
computers. They also have phone apps that work like dropbox. I have two
external 1T drives connected, one for use and the other just backs it up
nightly. I

If you have an Airport express, you can hook up an external drive to it and
the drive will be available to the network. This is how I do my time

yes, this does require a dedicated machine. It installs a fileserver on
top of FreeBSD. I guess you could install Nas4Free as a VM and then mount
your external hard drive to it, but that doesn't sound very convenient.

So I was looking into this this morning, and it seems that regardless of what
configuration you use, you still need a dedicated computer for this, or am I
missing something. I do not have an extra machine laying around. What I do have

I installed OwnCloud last night on my Nas4Free box. Took about 5 minutes.
It's pretty damn sweet. Clients for OSX, Linux, Win, iPhone & Android.

I agree. If it wouldn't be so dang easy I'd have gone to another solution.
This is as simple as writing the downloaded img file to a usb stick and
booting it. Of course you need to configure your raid array via a web
interface, but I'm guessing all of them would have something akin to that.

But that goes back to what I originally said, about going with a NAS with
4-5 bays they are the same price you just add the drives you need. Try
getting an WD with 16TB.

cheaper.

The bonjour service is just a discovery service, it's not a file sharing
system. By default, iOS devices can't access file shares. You need an
intermediary service in between the two. I think that's one of the biggest
selling points of this "cloud" server. Right now, the easiest way to

What sort of integration are you talking about?
For example I have the bonjour service on mine, as I don't own any Apple
devices and don't really understand that service, I am guessing on what I
do know, that this is maybe what you mean by IOS device integration...
Most NAS servers allow you to
Yeah, but you lose the iOS device integration. That's pretty tempting to have a
Dropbox like integration without the bandwidth limitations

Personally I would go with a NAS server, 3 to 5 drive bay and set it up
with raid. These actually work out to be far cheaper than buying something
like this from Western Digital. Hell, even a Raspberry PI or Audino running
linux, could do better than Western Digital.

was $108 bucks, but it worked), and the others are still in use (although I
had to reformat, and lost all the data).

The WD devices, whether connected directly via USB3, or via ethernet, will
lose their shiite (and their file tables and formatting) when they lose
power while being written to.

If you do get one, get a small UPS that can add a few minutes of uptime in
