Network Harddrive and Internet Access

splot_2

Can anyone suggest a suitable network harddrive that I can use to backup and share files between 4 PCs and 2 laptops? I'd like to be able to access the files over the internet as well.

I suppose I'm looking for 1tb storage and to pay around £100.

NAS is the way to go but for £100 you may be lucky........

Absolutely - if new the drives alone would be close to £100. Even 2nd hand you'd be lucky, but PM me if you'd like to make an offer for my spare....

Thanks for the advice.

I've looked at the Pcworld website and seen the Western Digital 1tb My Book World Edition for £99. It seems like it has what I need. Anyone used or got one?

Please be aware that accessing speed for NAS drives is much slower than internal/external hard drive. Buffalo has one with a bit higher than 100 pound price. You can try searching ebuyers or dabs for it.

How easy is it to set up one of these to be able to access over the internet?
