Cheap NAS & iTunes server?

[Paul C]

Hi all,

I'm looking for a NAS enclosure to use for time machine backups and as an iTunes server, so far the only ones which say they're compatible are the QNAP or Synology ones which are expensive even without drivers, I've found the ZYXEL NSA310 for £34.99 on eBay but I don't think they are compatible with time machine in lion, any suggestions?

Thanks

Paul

Just make sure you have a speedy 1000Mb network with the right cables (CAT 5E or CAT 6) and a good switch. This way HD movies will stream without any hiccups.

IMHO if you are looking for some ideas to speed look at the speedy switch like the D-Link DGS-1008G 8-Port Gigabit Desktop Switch and get you CAT 6 cables at Monoprice.com.
