Answers for Storage

How do I set up a home network drive?

My family wants to set up a storage devices over our Wireless-N network.

All the computers on the network have 802.11n wireless cards.
I was looking around on TigerDirect.ca and came up with a few options. Can you please tell me what will be the easiest to setup and use? Thanks!

P.S. The router I’m using is a D-Link DIR-615

Option 1: Iomega 33455 500GB Network Attached Storage (NAS)

Option 2: LaCie Network Space 301387U NAS

Option 3: D-Link DNS-321 Network Attached Storage Enclosure with TWO Hitachi Deskstar™ P7K500 250GB SATA HDD

I’m guessing for option 3 I’d have to put a file system on the hard drive, right?

We are a completely Mac household, all running 10.5+

Thanks in advance!
Um, thanks for you input?

Filesharing is all good and well, but it’s not what I’m looking for. Thanks for trying, though.

Hi,
Why you are investing money ??? the main purpose is to share file between computers …well its a very simple solution

You can share any thing between all computer ..You make one computer as a sharing hard disk ..by turning on file sharing feature on one computer hard disk ..you can choose any drive or even folder and some time single file ..User can read,,copy,,delete,,and save file..folders..and other stuff on that shared hard disk drive..folder..whatever you share.
Just after Turing on sharing make sure that your forward PORT 139 both UDP ..and TCP from your router setup page..by going to 192.168.1.1 in IE or may be your router have another IP to access setup ..

So how to turn it one just follow the simple file sharing step stated on the link below

And other cool way to share file or even desktop etc is to install
