The etrayz is available around 8.5 to 10k INR. Hard-disks are to be bought seperately. At this pricepoint, there are other NAS boxes available but not in India.Hmm...then I dont understand how the etray NAS is available at such a low price compared to the other solutions in the market. What gives?![]()
Dear Friends,
Would any body be kind enough to help me/guide me to config my new E-Trayz..my immediate use of E-trayz is to stream movies thru LAN(1st Preference) and maybe thru wifi.
I would not be downloading anything directly to E-trayz because i have recently shifted my broadband connection to BSNL 3G thru USB and yet to find a quality Router for same.
any fast help will be highly appreciated.
Regards

This may be a little off-topic but I have been thinking over the last week about the benefits of a NAS over a full-fledged desktop CPU......
........Overall, I am getting highly inclined to buying a desktop CPU than an eTRAYz. Kindly help me out if I am wrong or missing an important difference between the two.
You seem to have made up your mind, so why bother? We are eagerly waiting for a firmware update which is expected in year 2020 and thats just the Beta version mind youFrom what I could figure out from this forum and googling in general, the cheapest NAS available in India, such as eTRAYz, will cost about 10-12k. It will support at max. 2 hard disks of 2 TB each. The specs suggest that it will support torrent downloading, DDNS, FTP and so on. I will get a cheap low end OX processor with a bagfull of numerous bugs in firmware which will supposedly be resolved in years to come (though there is no specific time frame given). There may be cooling issues or related noise issues with the cooling system too.
Sur noking, please give me a call and I shall take you through the install to the best of my ability
You got PM.
All you need to do is to open etrayz and then install a Hdd into it and then connect the same to your computer's Ethernet port or your router's, then put an Ip address manually like 192.168.0.2 on your computer's Ethernet adaptor and you are good to go for installing the downloaded installation software from Xtreamer site. Follow the onscreen instructions and after 15 minutes you will have your new Nas working.
hi, i would like to know that where from you have buy this instrument. bcz i am also willing to buy this instrument for my home.
Sorry for the sarcasm in my post, must have came across as rude. Chill, no need for apologies and taking words back etc buddy.santhol2: I apologize for my post. I guess I am still a noob and wasn't aware of the HTPC concept (which is what I ended up describing in my post). I take my words back.
Why not? A HTPC can do the work of regular PC, HT, DAC/Transport for Stereo, NAS, downloader and more. There are folks on our forum who have done it. Just post your thoughts\queries in the HTPC section, experts will help you make the decision and also guide you in building your PCI have been going through some of the key requirements of building an HTPC (in this and some other forums) and am still evaluating whether something like an HTPC would serve my immediate needs or would it be a NAS like eTRAYz.
Hey Ashish/Santosh,
Hows the etrayz + xtreamer combo going on with you guys. Please share/update your experiences recently.
I have started using my etrayz again (after a long time), setup just fine. But need to work on two issues that I'm facing right now.
1> Not able to download from RS/HF (with premium account) - Jdownloader on my notebook shows that the files are available, but etrayz goes to Preparing >> END >> and then Failed state for these URLs<< Working on this right now
2> Need to configure the WAN access for eTrayz so I can access it from outside, I tried using port # 9000 - no luck yet. Ashish, do I have to configure anything else? I already have my etrayz IP in DMZ on my router. I have ddns setup in my etrayz. However, not configured anything apart from those.
Let me sync up again and hopefully I will make better use of etrayz+xtreamer now.
Thanks.
EDIT: OK, looks to be one of my accounts was expired. need to fix the remote access over WAN now.
