Hi Guys,

Been reading up on what raid boxes are avaialble and it seems the D-Link DNS-323 is a pretty decent choice. I have a stack of old SATA HDD's and so this could work well.

My home network is as follows:

Vista Home Premium PC - Acting as a Media Center
Apple iMac - Running both MacOS and Vista for office use
2 x Laptops
Xbox 360
PS3
Wii

What I would like is a NAS box to centrally store all of my media with raid so I have a safe reliable central store for all of my data. I am aiming to build a gigabit network at home, so GB LAN be good.

So far the D-Link ticks all the boxes - I just seem to recall reading something about not being able to stream media from this to my xbox 360? Is this right - or is there a work around (Map a drive on my Media Centre PC??)?

Any alternative product recommendations welcome.

Cheers,
