NAS Questions

So I was wondering if I plug a Ethernet cable into a NAS that's connected to my PC through a Switch if I can Access it on my PC.

 

This should work correct? 

 

Also, if I were to get multiple drives in a raid, could I have 1 set to be a drive for my Consoles (360, and One) while the rest are for my PC?

Just remember: Random people on the internet ALWAYS know more than professionals, when someone's lying, AND can predict the future.

Hey niofalpha,
 
- yes, you should see it and operate with it since it is technically the same network.
 
- you can configure some of the drives to be in a RAID array and leave the rest as stand-alone drives (that pretty much depends on the NAS if it can do it).

If this helped you, like and choose it as best answer - you might help someone else with the same issue. ^_^
