Question by Paul B: I have a D link DIR615 N router. How can I set up NAS using this router and a western digital hard drive?
I have not bought the hard drive yet so I’m open to suggestions but how do you get NAS (network attached storage) working on a regular router that’s connected to a cable modem and feeding a windows machine with multiple users?

Answer by GoodToGo
The way a NAS works is just like a computer. You can think of it as a harddrive enclosure with RAID controller and a simple OS. If your router is running on DHCP which dynamically assign IP address to each device connects to it, then there is really not much more for you to setup for the NAS. Setting up access on a NAS will be a totally different issue as it depends on your NAS and the file system you will be on.

So here’s topology of your network structure:

cable modem — router — (NAS, PC1, PC2, PC_n)

On your Windows machines you will be able to share the files from your NAS but mapping it through the IP address of the NAS.

Question by : Confused about computer memory and USB flash drives space?
I was looking at this website: http://www.crucial.com/support/howmuch.aspx and found out that a regular computer has about 2 GB of memory. And also recently i had bought a 16 GB USB flash drive and i know that a computer holds a LOT of space so how come the usb’s dont? Sorry if this is a dumb question for some of you but im not that smart at computers so help would be appreciated. Thank you!

By memory, they mean RAM (Random Access Memory) which is totally different from Hard Drive space.

The average computer will have about 4gb of RAM and maybe 500gb or 750gb of Hard Drive space.

Newer computers can have more.

Your memory stick falls under Hard Drive space, as it acts as a portable hard drive.

Samsung drives are not too expensive, are they good?

Best answer:

Answer by YU
I don’t if only one single USB hub 5V/500mA is sufficient enough to power a CD/DVD writer. I would say no, but you may prove me wrong, because electronic devices are becoming more efficient these days.
Samsung drives are budget drives with amazingly good quality, no need to worry here.
