Hi I have some questions to a poor man's NAS on the AC56U
I'm trying to find a way to automatically download torrents to a drive on the router while still being able back it up routinely. I will also throw many large GoPro videos on it from my PC.
Probably easiest to just spring for a NAS but I want consider a workaround before shelling out $500
My options:
1. buy a dual bay RAID enclosure and plug into router's USB 3.0 port. Run RAID 1. Will the router see the dual drives as a single drive?
enclosure for example: http://www.memoryexpress.com/Products/MX40154
2. plug 1 into router's USB 3.0 port, the other internally on my PC. Is there a way to backup the one plugged into the router to this internal one? Perhaps set up a cron job that starts a shell script to copy files on a schedule?
Thanks.
