itunes nas library
Does a home-made network attached storage device work with Mac OSX?
I have an old PC I want to turn into a network storage device.
The reason I want to do this is because I have lots of hds, both external and internal. On my OSX laptop my USB ports start to complain (overheat) if I plug too many devices in and this has let to lots of data loss.
Can I keep all my data together in a NAS, but still have Mac able to access everything like iTunes library . Time Machine Backups etc..?
I would suggest you use LINUX and something like FreeNAS
http://www.freenas.org/
That will allow ANY Mac or Windows or Linux machine to access the drive. Even can set your restrictions for users if needed. Great way to setup a very quick NAS with very small OS!
