Which NAS....???

[colemac]

Hi all,

I'm after some advise, I want a at home NAS device so I can store a lot of my films and stuff that I dont use very often or centralise my
Music library etc.

Ideally I want 2 bay's so that I can store everything on one an have it backed up on the other so I'm guessing some sort of raid configuration?

Any ideas.....?? Thoughts welcome.

Appreciate the replies guys.

Am aware that RAID is not a full backup solution but the aim was that instead of keeping a copy of photo's etc ony laptop aswell as a hard drive I coul park it all on a NAS RAID knowing that if one disk failed then the other mirrors it until I could replace, etc. I would hate to dump all files on one hard disk and that fail with no othe copy.

Appreciate the only safe way is to take a copy and store away from my pc/NAS/home but this is not a practicle option.

Regarding the HP micro server do you have a link? My friend mentioned the HP proliant N40L as a good choice? Or we're you on about another one?!

Appreciate the input
