Samsung HD Tech confirmation??

Feb 6, 2009 1:49AM PST

Has anyone from Samsung confirmed that the PC Share Manager cannot pull content from an external hard drive???...or is there a work around? I have 300+ gigs of video on an Western Digital NAS that I would love to access.

Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Technically, no.

LateBloomer,

Our service department notes that they don't offer support for external drives to be supported. One of our experts did not that he was not able to make it work.

Now, is it technically impossible? Hard to say. It depends on your know-how, tricks of the trade and workarounds. But for all intended purposes, I would say that it's not possible.

In a few days, someone could prove me wrong, and hopefully if that happens, they'll post their success here.

We do have a WiseLink/DLNA thread at the top of the forums since our support is limited. Perhaps some mindsharing and idea swapping will result in what you're looking for.
