BushNAS seemed ok, and works well for the most part… but I should have known it was too good to be true. After some time, and for no apparent reason, it just completely forgets the WiFi network. This means no sharing, and no remote desktop. I have to manually go to the tablet and restart it for the network to appear again. This is exactly as much use as a computer I need to turn on everytime I want to do any backing-up. This functionality has always been available and doesn't achieve the main purpose I set out to achieve at the start of this document.
Arse.
I have another tablet, also running Windows 10, which could serve the same purpose. Its limitation is USB: it only had a single microUSB socket for charging OR OTG connection. I've ordered a splitter cable, similar to one I used years ago for this purpose on a mobile phone, but I'm not holding out much hope as old forum posts I've found suggest these tablets can't charge & connect to other USB devices at the same time. It seems it is indeed charging OR OTG.
We'll see what happens when the cable arrives.
To do:
Test T60 again for comic reading.
Install Win10 IoT on old desktop
Deraid HDDs
Copy data from 5tb
Setup up network shares for all folders
Setup remote desktop
Test access from HP
Check power consumption
Check remote control range
WoL?
Use HP Stream as NAS…??
Attempt to block internet access
Bitlocker ext drive on Win10 and try on Win11 and vice-versa.
