The best way to record over network

Hi,

I am now a little pissed off because it is the third HDD that seems to have been damaged during the last 2 years in my ET9000. First it was a 2.5", then a 3.5" and now a USB disk.

Could it be o coincidence or is my ET9000 somehow damaging them?

Anyway, I am now looking for the best option (ET9000, OpenPli 4.0) to record over network instead of buying a new disk. What is the protocol to go for? CIFS? NAS?

Can somebody please guide me as to how to set up the recording to my Win7 machine?

Thanks.
