Part 1 explained how to use your Raspberry Pi as media center. Now support that media center by converting another Pi device into NAS box.

To start with this project, you need –
·       Model B of Raspberry Pi
·       A SD card with bootable OS on it
·       A hard disk drive with USB connectivity
·       Ethernet connections which connects this device with your home network
