Ability to connect external DVD drive via USB

Post by Klamp26 »

Id like to be able to connect an external DVD or bluray drive to the unit for access within file explorer as well as XBMC and Boxee for watching movies that I haven't backed up yet. Can it be done?

Anyone have thoughts here? I see Thecus has incorporated it into their NAS.

Hi Klamp26,

So far you can use PC/AIO or Notebook build-in DVD drive, then copy file to ASUSTOR NAS.
It's also useful, in my experience. ;)
