RE: NAS drive advantages?

I just ordered a Bufallo 500Gb NAS for my sister for under =A3160.

NAS is a simple device so there are no complications with the
"support" of =
a
PC.  Also from our NAS review  here - http://tinyurl.com/26ge38 -

"We measured the unit using a tiny 18 Watts during sustained reading
and
writing, compared to around 150 watts for a modern PC. If you were to run
both devices 24/7 the annual running cost for the NAS would be around
=A317=
.00
compared to around =A3145.00 for the PC!"
