[QUOTE="Vipersan, post: 852605, member: 325666"] Not quite what you think CJ .. Some 10 years back I made a descision not to have discs anywhere in my rooms ..with the exception of 1 or 2 specials ..like the entire extended lord of the rings on Blu-ray .. Everything I ever bought ..DVD CD or even Blu-ray was transcoded to iso image ..or mp3 ..and put on the server .. I don't like clutter ..thus everything accessible via media player or HTPC .. Thus a lot of space needed .. but that's not the whole story .. I also keep my service manuals scanned or pdf on the server.. Plus the installation for ever piece of software bought or aquired.. Plus entire bit cloned images of both my own operating systems ...but also customers (by their request only) ..following pc or laptop repairs .. Thus I can easily restore these images for certain customers in the event of HD failure .. They make a one off payment for this ..added to the repair price ..but only if they request it ..and are trustworthy ..and trust me. So you can imagine that also takes a huge amount of space. and every image is double backed and stored in a metal case ...so more hard drives needed. And another reason why I don't use wifi ...it's too easily accessed by intruders. Hard wired networks are more secure ...and the NAS network is also isolated from t'internet. Cheers VS [/QUOTE]
