![]() I've been noseing around for a DLNA compliant one. Whats cool about this is that you can take your current secondary HDD and place it in this NAS case and you've got your own NAS drive (which should be cheap since you've already bought the HDD). Note: On the matter of NAS drives, I found a cool site (see if I can find it) that shows how to build your own NAS drive with this kit that is the HDDs casing (ranges from having USB or Firewire connectors, a power connection and a network connection. Its currently rumored that the 3.0 Firmware upgrade will make the PSP DLNA compliant and possibly add the software to connect and use media from DLNA compliant devices. Theres actually one TerryByte server thats litteraly (as the name states) a TerraByte of space and is (height) the length of a #2 Pencil (basically very small). You can get a 200GB NAS drive for about $200 nowadays, theres also TerraByte ones from Buffalo, very heavy on the wallet though. I currently have a file server and have always thought about getting a nice 200GB NAS drive that would replace that server. I'm extremley excited about this (being a PSP owner). You then have a HDD on your network thats always on and accessible to your PS3, PSP and possibly your TV thats equipped with the right software. ![]() All you have to do is setup the NAS drive (make sure the NAS drive is UPnP or DLNA compliant) and network it to your other DLNA devices. I currently like the fact that you could connect to a NAS drive without any OS middleman. This may also be a good reason why TVs may be equipped with Cell proccessors in the future (to directly handle streaming Media from DLNA storages, especially streaming High Definition material). Whats great about this is that, you've got a bunch of different devices that are DLNA compliant, ranging from Laptops, Computers, NAS drives (Network Attached Storage) and TVs. Lots of software out there to do that, including being preloaded on NAS devices That means it won't need MCE, just a UPnP server. Of course, thats no confirmation, but Sony seem to be pushing hard this open home networking so I'm confident the PS3 will be a DLNA/UPnP media renderer. I also asked the guy there if the PS3 would be DLNA compliant and he said yes. It really was amazing to experience, and made a change from the other 'simple' server/client models going around. Flicking down on the nub pulled the video back down to my PSP. The PSP was then my remote control for play/pause etc. The TV immediately started playing back the video from where I'd left off. ![]() ![]() When I did this, the PSP 'threw' the video onto the TV. Then the guy on the stand asked me to flick the analog nub up. They only had video working, but you could click on a video and it would start playing on the PSP. You could access both media servers and see all their content - combined into one list. And they had an LCD TV as a media player.īut they also had a PSP with some early new software which was being used as a media renderer. Next to it they had a Vaio, also running a media server. They had a Set top box/HDD recorder with a DNLA compliant network server built in. And in particular one pod showing their home network stuff. Hands down the best stand I saw at CES was Sony's. ![]()
