    Recommendation Needed - Wireless Router for PC and Surveillance Cam

    Thanks Tim & Tony, The camera is for indoor in a 2 level 2,000 sq. ft. home. I am thinking of getting the Yi Home Camera 2. It supports only 2.4 Ghz band. At the moment, I am thinking of getting the Netgear R7000 or just the Ubiquti UAP-AC-PRO. Thanks

    5400RPM vs 7200RPM Drive

    My intention is for home media file sharing and video streaming. If the read/write spedd will always be quicker than the network speed, that basically tells me that getting a larger RPM drive may not worth going towards.

    5400RPM vs 7200RPM Drive

    Hi, I am planning to buy the DS411+ and get myself four 5400RPM Seagae ST32000542AS-Bare Drives. Obviously the 7200RPM is faster. My question is, does this matter when comes to read/write thru the network? Given the 100mbps or 1GBps max speed (if you can reach it), one would think the...

    ReadyNAS NV+ 1TB for $329

    You're right. Looks like the Pioneer edition. So for the Pioneer, does the fewer feature makes it that much of a difference? Or put it another way, do we really need those extra features I am am only after the performance and reliability? I assume Piorneer and NVX perform the same right...
