Use it wired to serve media to multiple points in your house, and to use it wirelessly, your router is already doing that job for you.]]>Sep 10th 2009 2:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/10/lg-debuts-n2r1-nas-with-built-in-dvd-burner-up-to-2tb-of-storag/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/10/lg-debuts-n2r1-nas-with-built-in-dvd-burner-up-to-2tb-of-storag/Sep 10th 2009 10:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/10/lg-debuts-n2r1-nas-with-built-in-dvd-burner-up-to-2tb-of-storag/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/10/lg-debuts-n2r1-nas-with-built-in-dvd-burner-up-to-2tb-of-storag/Sep 10th 2009 1:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/10/lg-debuts-n2r1-nas-with-built-in-dvd-burner-up-to-2tb-of-storag/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/10/lg-debuts-n2r1-nas-with-built-in-dvd-burner-up-to-2tb-of-storag/Sep 10th 2009 1:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/10/lg-debuts-n2r1-nas-with-built-in-dvd-burner-up-to-2tb-of-storag/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/10/lg-debuts-n2r1-nas-with-built-in-dvd-burner-up-to-2tb-of-storag/Sep 10th 2009 1:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/10/lg-debuts-n2r1-nas-with-built-in-dvd-burner-up-to-2tb-of-storag/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/10/lg-debuts-n2r1-nas-with-built-in-dvd-burner-up-to-2tb-of-storag/Sep 10th 2009 1:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/10/lg-debuts-n2r1-nas-with-built-in-dvd-burner-up-to-2tb-of-storag/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/10/lg-debuts-n2r1-nas-with-built-in-dvd-burner-up-to-2tb-of-storag/Sep 10th 2009 1:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/10/lg-debuts-n2r1-nas-with-built-in-dvd-burner-up-to-2tb-of-storag/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/10/lg-debuts-n2r1-nas-with-built-in-dvd-burner-up-to-2tb-of-storag/Sep 10th 2009 1:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/10/lg-debuts-n2r1-nas-with-built-in-dvd-burner-up-to-2tb-of-storag/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/10/lg-debuts-n2r1-nas-with-built-in-dvd-burner-up-to-2tb-of-storag/Sep 10th 2009 1:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/10/lg-debuts-n2r1-nas-with-built-in-dvd-burner-up-to-2tb-of-storag/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/10/lg-debuts-n2r1-nas-with-built-in-dvd-burner-up-to-2tb-of-storag/Sep 10th 2009 1:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/10/lg-debuts-n2r1-nas-with-built-in-dvd-burner-up-to-2tb-of-storag/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/10/lg-debuts-n2r1-nas-with-built-in-dvd-burner-up-to-2tb-of-storag/Sep 10th 2009 1:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/10/lg-debuts-n2r1-nas-with-built-in-dvd-burner-up-to-2tb-of-storag/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/10/lg-debuts-n2r1-nas-with-built-in-dvd-burner-up-to-2tb-of-storag/otherwise you would know that just because something CAN draw 850W, doesn't mean it does.
in fact, it will draw only what is necessary at any particular time.
and at idle, that's about the same as a 100W lightbulb for most computers.

so if you prefer, build a purpose built low power nas using off the shelf components, get much more storage capacity, and for not much more.

hell i built 12TB for about $700.00

kinda limiting, hope it supports 2tb or more per disks to make it future proof.

Here is the deal with NAS Units:

Don't buy one unless you are comfortable spending at least $350 *without* harddrives. For some reason, all of the cheap consumer NAS companies (and many "consumer" units from the more established NAS makers) use slow-as-molasses chip sets in their units. Seriously, nearly all of the cheap consumer NAS units from Western Digital/Linksys/Iomega/Buffalo/etc can barely do 10MB/sec even over a gigabit network. It is not even worth it.

If you don't want to spend $500+ to get a decent NAS, the best thing to do is to buy one of the small Intel Atom "net-top" boxes with eSATA and then buy an external drive (with eSATA connection). Even a drive connected via USB2 will be significantly faster than the NAS. Then just connect it to your network. If you are really geeky, you can install FreeNAS, Windows Home Server, or linux on the net-top and use it as a file/media/backup server. I just went through this whole process, and many people that don't figure this out end up very disappointed with an expensive "consumer NAS" paperweight.]]>Sep 10th 2009 1:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/10/lg-debuts-n2r1-nas-with-built-in-dvd-burner-up-to-2tb-of-storag/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/10/lg-debuts-n2r1-nas-with-built-in-dvd-burner-up-to-2tb-of-storag/Sep 10th 2009 2:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/10/lg-debuts-n2r1-nas-with-built-in-dvd-burner-up-to-2tb-of-storag/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/10/lg-debuts-n2r1-nas-with-built-in-dvd-burner-up-to-2tb-of-storag/

$399 gives you a 1TB drive, WHS, gigabit ethernet, eSATA, 4 hot swappable drive bays that DO support 2TB drives no problem for a max of 7TB (Acer's marketing boo-boo in saying 4TB). If you shop around, you might even find some local computer sellers honouring the "get a bonus 1TB drive" promo deal. When I was last at my local mom-n-pop computer store (a couple of weeks back), they still had the promo going.

Low energy profile, quiet and hidden in a closet beside my router, this thing has no problems serving up media of all kinds to my living room HTPC, Xbox 360, desktop rig or laptop or netbook. The fact that it's doing backups in the background is an extra bonus.

I initially picked it up because I got sick of looking at external drives connected to my desktop rig. With all the added functionality a proper home server has, I don't know how I went without one before.]]>Sep 10th 2009 2:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/10/lg-debuts-n2r1-nas-with-built-in-dvd-burner-up-to-2tb-of-storag/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/10/lg-debuts-n2r1-nas-with-built-in-dvd-burner-up-to-2tb-of-storag/Sep 10th 2009 2:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/10/lg-debuts-n2r1-nas-with-built-in-dvd-burner-up-to-2tb-of-storag/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/10/lg-debuts-n2r1-nas-with-built-in-dvd-burner-up-to-2tb-of-storag/Sep 10th 2009 2:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/10/lg-debuts-n2r1-nas-with-built-in-dvd-burner-up-to-2tb-of-storag/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/10/lg-debuts-n2r1-nas-with-built-in-dvd-burner-up-to-2tb-of-storag/
