Good evening,
I am having a hard time deciding on a simple NAS for home use. I have gone through a lot of reviews (many outdated or products already updated) and still not sure what to get.
What I am looking for is a simple, yet fast, single drive NAS to keep perhaps 200-250GB of data - mainly pictures, home video's, some music and kids movies. My only requirement would be an ability to make a backup of NAS via USB (2.0 is fine too), perhaps some kind of iTunes/DNLA server, a gigabit connection and a decent iOS client to view the media.
The NAS would be connected to Netgear WNDR 3700v2 wifi router and all clients would wireless connect to it - that would be Panasonic plasma TV, 4 iPad's, 3 iPhone's, Apple TV and 2 Windows laptops.
Most of the data would be read only, only occasionally updating new content (once or twice a month), so I would prefer something with fast reads over writes. I am also fine with either option - disk or diskless.
I appreciate any suggestions.
Thank you
