NAS + XBMC combination
- by Hendrik
I currently own a WD Sharespace and I am not too happy about it. It will freeze constantly and its rather slow. I've been thinking of replacing it.
I also own a WD HD Live, and it works like it is supposed to, but recently I've seen XBMC in action and I was quite impressed.
I've been wondering lately about the possibility of replacing both products with one new device: a fast reliable nas which I can install XBMC on and is capable of rendering video and has an HDMI out.
Do any such devices exist for sale or is the only way to build one from scratch?
I've seen HTPC's for sale but I've never seen any of them with a raid setup.
I've also read about building your own NAS with freeNAS but those setups dont allow you to run XBMC.
Does anyone have experience with this?
