Hi,
I've been searching a bit on answers, and get sometimes a bit confuse about the answers.
I'd like to have an external hard drive accessible through local network, from which I could play any media (I don't need to convert it, just like a regular HDD, I'll just open it with VLC and watch it).
All seems to point to NAS, but with a lot of "overkill". People are saying that some (ds423+) can convert files on the fly to access it from your phone or other devices, and I don't really need that.
I'm looking what could be the best solution to just put medias on it (10To would suffice for now), and access it, over local area network if it need it's own power, or "plug and play" solution if it's powered by USB.
I don't need a solution with integrated backup plan, as I will move it elsewhere.
For more details :
I have 205 Gb of footage on game A
I have 726 Gb of footage on game B (With roughly 120Gb per raid, and 20Gb for PvP edits)
Is an external CD player worth it ?
It seems not because CD's seems to not be able to have more than 9Gb, from a really quick search I did
Are USB (or external hard drive) good enough ?
I could have a collection of USB/eHDD with post it on it like "game A", "Game B - Raids" and "Game B - PvP"
Or even more cut, like "Game B - Raid A", "Game B - Raid B"
What would you use it in my case, to have all your data easily accessible without being in your computer ?
