[gui-talk] Buffalo, IOMega, and Patriot NAS Drives

[Peter Donahue]

Good evening Brian and everyone,

    In cloud systems one feature you have is the ability to have your NAS or 
off-site storage drive appear as a local drive on your machine in My 
Computer or Windows Explorer giving you another way to access files stored 
on them. Buffalo units allow you to access files via a private cloud, FTP, 
or your Web Browser. If the FTP Component allows you to create an account in 
a program like File Zilla or other Windows or Mac FTP programs and a 
standard Web interface is used known to be accessible with screen readers 
problem solved. I don't know about Patriot or Iomega but Buffalo also has 
apps you can download and install on your iPod, iPad, iPhone, or an Android 
phone giving you the ability to access your NAS remotely. Can you do this 
with Patriot NAS drives?

It looks like we've ruled out Galaxy, Netgear and Western Digital NAS 
systems due to accessibility issues.    Iomega drives have been around for a 
long time too. I'll need to check out their offerings. I should also check 
Sandisk too as their products tend to be of a better quality at least their 
flash drives are. If anyone uses a NAS system other than those mentioned 
above your reviews particularly concerning accessibility with screen readers 
will be very much appreciated.

In caverns deep a burning snare,
He shot from heaven a piercing ray,
And the dark treachery brought to day.”
