I was wondering if anyone is using one of these yet? My main issue is streaming audio/video to my HT setup; currently using a NSLU2 w/160GB MyBook drive for storage, which is great, but I can't stream anything to my Xbox 360 (which I would use an an interim media center) since the 360 doesn't recognize NAS storage.

I'm wondering if the NAS200 will be different, since it states "Built-in media server for streaming to PC or UPnP AV digital media adapter". Any thoughts?

I got it last week. I have a PS3 and the NAS200 does get picked up as a media server. I think it's setup with DLNA. I have it setup with two 500GB Seagate drives. It's pretty easy to setup. It's not "whisper" quiet but not overly loud either but I'll probably end up throwing it in a closet or something.

I've been using TVersity to do the transcoding and just have the drives mapped to serve up the video to the PS3. Ideally it would be great to have all the transcoding done on the NAS but I doubt it has the horsepower to do that - but I'm not a Linux hacker so I could be wrong.

Works as advertised and only have one real complaint is that they allow DDNS - but ONLY with their paid service. But, since I don't use that yet - it's not THAT big of a deal for me.

It does have a standby mode after "x" minutes and it will also power off the fans "x" minutes after in standby mode.

I think once the hacks come out it will be an extremely popular and cost effective device. For the price, it's a pretty good deal unless you want to really roll your own. I just wanted something quick and dirty and really didn't want to have my full blown y2k3 server up all the time.

I just got a NAS200 to serve up files for a PS3. I've had good luck getting the PS3 to view jpegs. However, I have had no luck getting the PS3 to view movies. All I get are unsupported ?? messages. I know that some of these files work, since I was able to view them from a CF card. I haven't done anything with music as I'm using an Apple TV to connected directly to my iTunes. Are there some file naming conventions that I need to follow? I've read that file names are important, but cannot find any reference to what the rules are. How are you naming your MPEG4 video files?

EDIT: I just burned a DVD and the PS3 reads that fine.

I think the PS3 just sorts everything by name. You can try mediacoder http://mediacoder.sourceforge.net/ for conversions. Right now I'm just using Tversity. Music works fine as well. I'm actually an anti-iTunes person. The DRM thing bothers me to no end and, IMHO, iTunes on Windows is a POS. God forbid you have a large library.

Anyone else have this care to comment?

I've been thinking about picking one up just for the purpose of storing/streaming music (read mostly music, no movies, maybe pictures and some other backups). The review at smallnetbuilder seemed good minus a few aspects such as slow transfers which seem like it would really only suck during the initial transfer of all my music.
