    2-bay NAS with RAID 1 or 1-bay NAS and an external HDD?

    I think this is the way to go, although I found a really great deal on a QNAP TS-412, so I might get that plus an external HDD instead

    2-bay NAS with RAID 1 or 1-bay NAS and an external HDD?

    I recently decided that I wanted to buy an NAS for file backup and video streaming. It has been a very long process, but I hadn't really made any progress. The original plan was to buy a 2-bay NAS (had narrowed it down to the QNAP TS-219 P II), backup everything to that, put it in RAID 1, and...

    HTPC/NAS combo vs. pre-built NAS

    I think the MAXIMUM I'd be using is 2TB, but I've been looking at 1TB - 1.5TB a bit more. I'd like to have a RAID 1 configuration as well. The media player I was looking at was the WD Live Hub just because it's nice to have that 1TB HDD built in. Are there any similar media players around...

    HTPC/NAS combo vs. pre-built NAS

    Yeah, I was reading somewhere that some higher end Blu-Ray movies will need around 25-35Mbps when streaming, and it sounds like the QNAP NAS gets near 100Mbps in VERY IDEAL conditions (I realize that's a stretch). With this setup, I'm also buying a new router so that I can have everything...

    HTPC/NAS combo vs. pre-built NAS

    For the past couple of months, I've been trying to figure out what to do with the data on my laptop and my dad's computer, backup-wise. I began looking at numerous NASes, and recently I have been seriously considering purchasing the QNAP TS-219P II. I would like to use it to back up either data...
