Recommend me a network hard drive please

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.
