| | I've been looking for a NAS drive to use as a backup for my home computer/network. I'd like a better place to store all our pictures, videos, music, and files off my personal computer. I currently use a LaCie USB drive for the backup. But the program I use, called Memeo, is not very reliable. I've been looking at a LaCier 1TB Ethernet Big Disks which comes with software for auto backup, can stream music, pictures and video and should have more than enough space for us to put our kids movies on the computer and play them thorugh an adapter to our TV. However, I've read some people that say these NAS drives use two 500G drives not one 1TB drive. And if one of the two drives fail, then you have lost all your data with no chance of recovering it. Is this true? I don't care about the videos, but the pictures are very, very important. I could use some input on NAS backup and being sure I get the right thing. I've seen some NEA housings where you put your own hard drives in them. Is that a better choice? I'm not sure what software comes with the LaCie equipment but I don't want to spend hundreds on the software in addition to an expensive backup drive. And I'm not a networking expert, so I need this to be simple to do. Thanks,
John |

| I can't give you advice on NAS hardware but you might consider this OS for automated data backup. http://restore.holonyx.com/
