Can the NETGEAR ReadyNAS 104 4-Bay Diskless Network Attached Storage (RN10400-100NAS) be setup solely as a local device attached to a PC?

no - its a network device with storage, access to disks are via the network

Hi Dan -- this is a network attached storage device, and as such your PC would access the NAS via the network connection. However, if your concern is access restriction, you can restrict access to other devices on the network in a variety of ways.

Yes, please note that the camera can work standalone with a MicroSD card, and if you like to use a NAS drive instead, we have these recommendations: For residential PC users we recommend the WD MyCloud for best value, or for businesses with multiple cameras the higher performance Netgear ReadyNAS might be suitable. For Apple users we recommend the Apple Time Capsule, which can be used as just a drive, or as a drive + router combination.

Yes, depending on your setup. It is a hardware raid, so that means that you can set it up so that whichever device you plug it into will just see it as a large hard drive. It really depends on the router. What this device can't do is act as it's own NAS--you essentially just need to think of this device as a large USB hard drive, and then find a solution that works with it.

The ReadyNAS 104 supports the following bonds: - 802.3ad - Active Backup - Transmit Load Balancing - Adaptive Load Balancing - Round-Robin - XOR - BroadcastSome of these, such as 802.3ad require a special switch, while others, such as Round-Robin (i think), do not.

I have a 2TB HDD connected to a Netgear router. According to the literature, the 2TB is the upper limit of what can be supported with a direct connection to a router. You should, however, be able to connect the 3TB unit directly to your PC. I had read where Windows now takes storage units greater then 2TB. That said, I'd do a search with BING or GOOGLE to verify that or, perhaps, talk to somebody at BEST BUY or similar.Good luck!

No, this is not a NAS (network attached storage). It doesn't run on its own. It needs to be connected to your laptop to work. Try the QNAP and the Synology products. Those are standalone NAS units that can run Plex.

Nope, it's a disk enclosure with a pci-e card. Nothing network related about it at all.

I have no clue...I am not a "techie". I have only used it as an external device to install programs on my net book.

I don't think so. Unless you could figure out a way to network a USB device but at that point you're better off buying a product meant to be a NAS. FYI, my unit failed after 1 month. Don't buy this product.

I am just about 100% certain that you cannot plug this directly into a computer. It's not a mass storage device like any kind of external hard drive. If the three different workstations talk to each other on the network, might as well have them talk to the Synology NAS (Network Attached Storage) using the network.

No, this will not do what you need. If you want to connect a hard drive to your network without using a computer, you will need a device called a NAS, or "Network Attached Storage" - it's basically an external case that connects via ethernet instead of USB.

yes, it is easy to map as a network drive. I have mapped it to both Windows 7 and 8, as well as Linux

I have not tried either of the network protocols but I think it supports samba. With samba, you can access the HD installed on the AIOS from your PC. Here is a link to the manual http://www.pivosforums.com/AIOS/AIOS_Docs/AIOS_Manual_rev_7-26.pdf

No you cannot attach a USB drive directly to this NAS. But a better approach would be to attach the USB drive to your desktop and run automatic backups from your desktop.

So far I only see compatibility with Windows and Apple operating systems, that's with the Buffalo NAS Navigator software. You might need to contact Buffalo tech support. I am sure there is a way to make it work, because at the end of the day its a storage drive. ;)

IF you do not have a user account that has access to a share on that drive then you will get an error mapping the drive.I thought there was a util;ity built in that would map a drive for you. i hve upgraded to a netgear nas

Yes, you can use a thumb drive or a hard drive on the router as a network drive Follow the instructions in the setup and you will have it up and running in no time. You can assign read only or read write to the drive as well as password access.You can find more detailed information on the manufacturers website.Hope this helps.
