The first time I ever used a QNAP nas it took me about 10 mins to get it up and running in a basic usable fashion. Login, create shares, upload all your files to the NAS, I recommend atleast RAID 1 so you wont lose everything if a hard drive frags on you, and that is about as easy as it gets. Give it an IP in the management interface. If you use a router and no switch plug it into the (usually 4 port) switch on the back of your router. If you use a switch plug it in there and give the NAS an IP. You can also run Twonky media server, Plex media server, gosh a lot of stuff on QNAPs.Īs far as connecting it to your network. The main change is that you are just using the processing power of your NAS instead of your desktop to host the PS3 server.

Once you power on your PS3 it will automatically detect the PS3 server just as if it were running on your PC as you said you were doing already.

Tell PS3 server software where your files are and tweak it how you see fit.

Click the new little link it puts on your nas Select PS3 server which is already in the list I haven't tried 3 streams but there is no need for me to try it.

Yes two different servers running two different streams because I want to watch one movie and my wife wants to watch another in different rooms.

Trust me my dual core Atom with hyperthreading can actually stream two HD 1080p movies at the same time with real time transcoding to my PS3 using PS3 server and DLNA ready television using Twonky. That is how I see it and validate it as a good purchase. Sure you are paying a little more for stuff you wont use but the stuff you do use you will love. Is there room for growth in my single drive fixed storage thingy? Where did all my data go that I had on there? Answer question 1 to find out where!ģ. It has one hard drive, what if that drive dies?Ģ. But here are some questions you need to answer:ġ. Sure you can get a external WD hard drive that has a network jack and one single hard drive in it. More importantly you are paying also for hardware that can deliver. My QNAP, I am using maybe 6 of the 50+ features it has. For instance I have a Cisco 2960G switch, it is the most amazing switch in the world to me, and I am using maybe 5 of the 1000+ features it has. Sometimes you have to buy a device knowing you will not use all of the features.

I value the input of HF users and would like to hear some recommendations on hardware and setup that would work for me. I have no hardwired network connections to my TV area.īottom line, whether it be wireless, or connecting a HDD directly to a device (which i'm not certain if that's even possible) I need to be able to play 720p/1080p content reliably. The Xbox is 802.11N which may handle it better, but that's just a guess. If I went with a HDD solution, could it be connected directly to the PS3 or Xbox rather than using the wifi? If I decided to go wireless, & use the PS3 which is 802.11G only, I might be concerned about whether it can handle 1080p content. (connected to my Linksys E4200 via ethernet port) * NAS server with built in DLNA such as: D-Link DNS-320 ShareCenter 2-Bay Network Storage device (direct connection to the game console or plugged into my Linksys E4200 via its USB port) * HDD with built in DLNA such as: WD My Book Live 3TB Personal Cloud Storage My question is what hardware should I use to stream the content, and where should the hardware be connected.

I understand that both of these devices have a DLNA client. Connected to the TV is a PS3 and an Xbox 360. I have a ton of 720p/1080p content I would like to stream to my main HD TV.
