he could have transformed his router into a NAS using either the proprietary software or OpenWRT/Tomato etc... This way you dont need any extra NAS and just plug in your external drive via USB. The performance is the only bottleneck I've experienced with routers (cpu speed is about 200-600mhz).
Other than that it works really well with my raspberry pi xbmc!
- gmontard 13y agoWell Synology NAS is so much more than just a connected harddrive through the network... Also I don't think the router can handle NZbget, sickbeard etc.
- gotschi 13y agoI really dont know what software is available from the NAS manufacturers or the community. All i can say is that my Netgear WNDR3700v2 can handle transmission, smb, ssh, afp, an apache server and tvheadend pretty well on OpenWRT and there are many more packages (including nzbget) available.
- gmontard 13y agoI think you'll find a really big bottleneck if you're using NZB (with NZget or SabNZB). Even my NAS is too slow to give me the maximum speed of my fiber optic internet connection :( (stuck at 9MB/s)
