I have this: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

With four of these: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Overkill for what you are asking, but I love it. Use it as a central server for a variety of projects. It has a proprietary Dropbox style client, which I like a lot for team-based projects.

Has to be raid, so I don't loose all my stuff if a drive dies.

Qnap is good.

**Kenny B!** · 02-18-2013, 05:51 AM

+1 for Qnap, best interface, stay away from any dlink product

**Way3** · 02-18-2013, 05:55 AM

We have had great luck with our home system with a Buffalo NAS.

a friend of mine has that ( the buffalo) and loves it also.. I thought about that one, and buying like 2 or 3 of them..

**Markul** · 02-19-2013, 12:51 AM

Man there are a ton of those QNAP things. I guess they all come without drives right?

Looking at:

I am totally confused here. I need something that's fairly simple for simpletons like me to operate lol

or maybe just get this:

**Markul** · 02-19-2013, 06:56 AM

Bump for me

**C4W** · 02-19-2013, 06:59 AM

A QNAP is wery simpel. Do you need the 8tb in a mirror?

I need something thats safe if a hd burns out. No mirror needed I guess.

**C4W** · 02-19-2013, 07:05 AM

Then you need 16tb of space.

1 Disk at 2tb = 8 bays on the qnap and so forth. 1 disk at 4tb = 4 disks

Not sure how big a disk we can get these days.

When you setup up the qnap it will still be simple.

With 4 disk these one will do you just fine. You can always contact qnap.

I guess that one is w.o. the disks. I'll hit up QNAP and get some word on what disks to get with that.
