    Buying a NAS

    I can spend some time adjusting and tweaking it but not too much. Should work well most of the time. I'd like not to have a separate machine for video conversion. The energy usage isn't a problem like I said in the first message. Video converting wouldn't be a daily process, but my goal is to be...

    Buying a NAS
