Hi All,

I need to replace my ageing USB HDD and want a NAS one which I can access remotely via the web.

Looking for 1TB of storage min. and ideally would like some way of backing it up...twin drives in the same case? Or could I reuse the USB HDD as a back-up drive?

Not computer illiterate, but I want something that will plug in and go.

Thanks,
Nick

My zyxel 310 has been great. Works great for iTunes server, movies n photo sharing and it's a gigabit nas drive

Not so keen on my buffalo nas I have also so I'm gonna sell that one. It's an ls wxl 2gb link station.

I found it hard too ssh to it and control using the iPad as my other has zxyel iPad app.

The buffalo is supposed to be easier but not my experience

I use a netgear NASDUO, 2x 1tb drives, set up for one to mirror the other, so I have a backup of everything should the worst happen. Web interface is pretty good, easy to use and set up. Do some googling, plenty reviews of NAS drives online.

Make sure it supports NTFS, mine didn't, it's poo
1.5Tb and no files over 4gb, poo.
