I searched the post but didn't find what I wanted to ask. Sorry if it's been answered.
I'm a bit tech savvy. But my experience with storage and back ups has been an external drive.
Recently my daughter had a failure of her hdd back up losing all her photos. She had a second back up but deleted her images for something and never backed them up a second time. I told her to try file recovery of her deleted drive first. She's in the UK, currently here for a visit, I'm in Canada.
Because of this group I was reminded of Nas. I'm thinking of setting one up.
I'm a newbie. But I'm thinking of setting up an nas so she can back up here to my drives and access them for the UK.
I'm thinking of a 2 bay linkstation with 2 2tb drives. I have 1 Tb of images and she has less, so combined 2x 2tb should be enough for us.
Just looking for opinions.
Is what I want to do a good idea or are there better options I don't know about?
Is the buffalo 2 bay 2t system on amazon a good option? How do they perform?
Is it just easier for both of us to have external drives rather than nas? I like the cloud feature of nas though.
Thanks in advance and I appreciate the feedback.
