Nas and Xbox 360

[dacons]

Hey guys need some advice I currently have a Netgear SC101T network storage device which I bought to stick my 2 Sammy F1 1TB drive in that hold mountains of media the thing is part of the reason I got it was so I could access it with my xbox for the music and movies but it doesnt work and ive found that it isnt designed for that so I was hoping somone could recommend one that is I did look at the Netgear updated version the stra model but I want a decent one and I dont want the setup to wipe the drive clean .

Any ideas.

Consider getting a home server box...http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Home_Server

If you search home server on Amazon and filter by the 4 star products, you'll no doubt see some great options. Cheers.

Thanks had a look on amazon but most units have hard drives and I just want the enclosure .

I like the QNAP NAS's. I went the other route though and built a MATX PC and run PS3MediaServer to stream to my PS3.

Ok so I ended up getting a Netgear stora thinking I could swap the drive over No no no that would be to easy the stora tried to wipe the drive on install so now im stuck ive managed to backup some info on my laptop and my PC but I have nearly a TB of info which I need to prune down.

Also I found that Win 7 has taken up over a 160GB of my 250gb drive that cant be right can it the box says it only needs 16GB and I know ive downloaded alot of updates but still and other then supreme commander 2 there is nothing else on the PC yet.
