Good evening all,
I am wondering if any of you have the time to help me out with my home nas setup. I currently stream all my media from my main media center PC that has a 1tb hdd. I am worried that the HDD will fail so I really need to start backing up my data. I also need to upgrade on total storage, I constantly have to delete data because my hdd is getting full.
I'm thinking my best route would be to use a NAS box and also build a new box that would run windows home server.
I would like around 5TB of available space (3 TB minimum) and I would also like a viable backup solution ( I would hate to lose any data if the hdd failed).
Any pointers on how to start this? I'm looking at these seagate 1.5tb drives at the moment, thinking about picking them up for black friday.
Please give me your suggestions. Don't want to spend that much, but I realize that what I'm asking for could be expensive.
