How To: Build A NAS Box

Posted 11/24/2008 at 09:05:15am

I work in IT and understand how NAS works but I think there was a general consensus by the author that everyone reading Maximum PC has full understanding about NAS.   I think this should have been made a little more clear.   Based on this article (pretending I don't understand NAS) I still don't see why someone wouldn't just choose to share a folder on an existing PC in their home as already mentioned here.

What also isn't made clear... if you follow these instructions and build this NAS will the disk appear local under disk management on the system connecting to it like real SAN/NAS storage?  Say for example I want to build a NAS off this article and use it purely for a large array for a media center for all the DVD rips.   Will it appear as LOCAL storage? 

If not how is this different from just a share on another system???

There was no mention at all about the physics.... from what I read in other reviews you could tear down the forest with your gunfire like in the movie Predator and if a tree actually fell on you or an enemy it would crush/kill/hurt them.
