Hi all.

Here's my setup;

I have a 1TB Maxtor drive attached to a Mac Mini. This drive contains all media that is served to my TV.

Here's the deal: The mini goes to sleep sometimes. The Maxtor drive hangs and crashes. I don't trust it and will likely never buy another Maxtor. I'd like to add a 2TB drive into the mix to use as a Time Machine backup.

Here's the question: I think I'd like to set up some kind of network drive to run all this stuff. If I get an adapter, can I set up a drive as a NAS and have it serve the media to the TV?

Thanks in advance.

Cheers

You want the NAS to serve content to the ATV without a computer in the middle? Nope, can't do it. The ATV pulls it's content through iTunes rather than looking at a drive location. The only way you can do it is to install Boxee on your ATV.

Harumph. That's what I feared. I guess my only real option is to stick a huge drive in the TV.

Thanks for the quick response!
