Review: “The Home Media Network Hard Drive is “Network attached storage” and while that sounds very technical, it is as simple as plugging the drive into your router. The drive can then be configured with an included CD that has an easy-to-use set up wizard; install the included Discovery software, and in just a few steps, you will have everything ready to go.
