    Hello there :)
    I recently purchased a Raspberry Pi which is currently gathering dust at home so I wanted to ask a quick question to see if you guys could help with getting it up and running. What I want to do is buy a relatively cheap nas which I will connect to my eircom router. Then I will connect the Pi to the router and away I go!!
    I will probably install Raspbmc on the Pi as all I will be using it for is playing movies and music on my living room TV.
    So, my question is this. Can I buy something like this http://www.dabs.ie/products/lacie-2tb-lacie-network-space-2-ethernet-hi-speed-usb-6LQ1.html?src=3 and connect it to the router and go from there.
    I also have a 1TB portable hard drive so I would be hoping to be able to connect that to the Lacie to make it into a 3 TB nas (Not too pushed about backing up info just yet as a proper nas may be on the cards next year depending on funds)

    As an aside, it would also be nice to be able to stream media from the nas to my galaxy S2 and Nexus 7 but its not a deal breaker.

    Thanks in advance for any feedback
