So, I think I am gonna bite the bullet and pick up a SSD. Since the SSD will not be that big and most of my files are music with some videos and pics, I decided to get a NAS.

Here are some of my questions:

1)My first time using a mac so bare with me, How do I setup a NAS(network attached storage). Any recommendations which one to buy? I would like to be able to access the NAS WHEREVER I am in the world.

2)There will be some times where I will not be able to access the internet but would stil like to listen to some music. So is there a way to keep a couple playlists local on the HD and everything else on the NAS?

3)Can I also do this with pics and videos? How is streaming viedoes over NAS?

4)While using bootcamp with windows XP, Do I have to have two copies of my music or can I ask itunes from the windows side to look for the mp3 on my mac partition(I formated windows with fat32)

5)Is there a better way I can get what I want than what i just posted

Thanks guys!
