Recently, i had an urge to buy a NAS (Network Attached Storage) for my home. I already owned a router and had my WiFi network all setup. My desktop and laptop are both hooked to the WiFi network. I wanted a cheap solution for hosting my media files on the network and this is where NAS Adapter from Deal Extreme came into picture costing only 41.83$.
I searched the internet over and over again on Ebay and Amazon but could not find a cheap and best option for a NAS. I saw this NAS Adapter on DealExtreme. I already had a portable hard-drive and the idea of hooking it up with something called as "NAS-Adapter" was unique. Further, to my surprise, this adapter also allowed download files via BitTorrent. I have been running my desktop all day long downloading files via torrents but then this was an astonishing solution to bring down the wear-tear to my PC and also save electricity. All that you needed to do was to hook the NAS Adapter to your router and attach the portable hard-drive to the USB port of the NAS Adapter and all your files would keep getting downloaded to the hard-drive without your PC or Laptop running. At the end of the day you can access all the downloaded data from the hooked portable harddrive. Isn't this amazing?
I have put this blog because there are many staying out of USA and have no access to products like these at cheaper rates. Ebay or Amazon or Buy.com or RadioShack, etc would not deliver goods out of USA and if they did, they will ask for very high international shipping rates. DealExtreme provides FREE INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING and at very low rates. Moreover, the delivery is safe and perfect and also provides tracking of the deliveries. I have bought one NAS Adapter from them and posted the pictures and videos on this blog.

Setting up NAS - First Time Configuration
BitTorrent Setup
For Setting up BitTorrent, you would be required to download the torrent files on to your computer and then upload it to the NAS Adapter through its web-based console. You have the option to START, STOP or DELETE the torrent, just as you have in a normal windows torrent client.
