As above.
Long story short (see basis on my other thread) had a 1TB buffalo linkstation that held data backup, pics and sonos music data on it. Have copies of most important data stuff on PC and an old backup of music on an external HD.
Just switched to a mac and was setting it up and pulled the ethernet cable knocking over NAS and now its bricked with too many bad sectors.
Considering options for my current/future needs:
1)need something to store Flac files for sonos & act as a server
2)Has space to keep some data as a backup and for photos etc that can be accessed by other machines
3)would like to run backups more frequently and quicker (reason why music flacs are a little old)
Not sure what to do, thinking maybe replace the HD in the LS NAS and store just music for sonos on it - would also want something then to back this up onto with data backups
or
Save cash, and leave trying to resurrect / replace buffalo NAS HD and go for something totally new that meets my needs now - was thinking something like a synology two bay NAS with two 2 or 3TB HD - I would want to backup to one of these and then have it backup to the other one (is this mirroring?)
Opinions?
