So I need to set up a NAS system at home, predominantly to allow all my photos to be backed up to (and potentially viewed) and to have some films etc that could be streamed around the house. It doesn't particularly need any access from outside the home network, though that might be a bonus.
I currently back up my Mac to a TimeCapsule but need a load more space. It's been so long since I did anything like this I don't really know where I should be starting in terms of features and the like. I'm guessing a couple of hundred pounds would be sufficient for a home setup?
And that's before I even get into the concept of RAID setups which I haven't explored in some 10 years or so.
The other thought is to stick some external HDDs onto the TimeCapsule to extend the storage. I guess this doesn't add any redundancy to the system though?
Has anybody done this recently and found a simple, inexpensive all in one package?
Thanks
