[X4U] synology disk station

[alexandre]

hi ed

i thought of doing that too, but this solution costs more than getting  
a ready-made 1TB hard drive (lacie 2big for example), in switzerland  
at least.

so i'm thinkink of getting that and maybe an airport extreme base  
station to have the wifi connectivity. i'm worried that despite "mac  
compatibility", the synology is ging to give me issues…

regards,
alexandre
