Windows 7 I need a Win7 compatible NAS drive

[parishpete]

I'm running Win 7 HP 32 bit.

The Guys on the BSOD forum have isolated my external Freeagent Pro as the cause of BSOD's. MS Win 7 compatibility says it works ok with Win7. Seagate say is doesn't.

Forum opinions on the subject are divided. It either works for you or it doesn't.

Mine does does work and the data is safe; it just kicks 3 bells out of the Win7 OS from time to time.

The solution is to buy a NAS drive to back up data independantly from the PC's on my network.

Anyone suggest one that works with Win7, XP & Vista without bother for under £200?

regards

Pete
