Shingled Magnetic Recording drives have a bad name, and rightly so if you need to write continuously for more than a couple of minutes, because the firmware just can't cope and frequently grinds to a halt for a few seconds. As someone who always buys NAS HDD's for their longevity and durability...

I have a huge collection of movie files on my NAS (Z:\Movies). Each...
Hi all,
Is there anyway to have a diskless server boot a Windows server image/VM from a NAS?
Or is it possible to have an operating system like Windows Server 2012 not installed each individual machine? Instead running from a centralized disk storage.
If I'm logged into Windows 8.1 as username/password, and I try to access files on another computer on my network (in this case my NAS, which I think is running Linux), what username and password does it try to connect to the NAS with? If it gives me a "You need permission to perform this action"...
