Hi lads, first of all, I LOVE IT in here. Great to know i am not the only one who feels the need to secure his favorite movies in 4k and then never watch them.
Ok, so I’ve literally been thinking about a NAS for years, never pulled the trigger which I believe I will now, mainly for Plex and backing up family photos and less than 5GB of work files.
I own several external hard drives but I mainly need like 2-3TB of storage (knowing I need to copy the movies from my computer to the HHD attached to my TV makes me just skip downloading the damn thing altogether, but knowing I can run Plex with ease will mean I’m downloading a lot more in the future.
So the main event, how much do I need? I have several copies of my main stuff so I might not go for RAID1 just yet so I’ll be buying a two bay NAS (what I can afford for now) and stick one drive in for now and add another in a few months (that’s financing).
I am thinking of adding a single 12TB drive (I know far more than I’ll probably ever need!) then add another either for more storage if I need it (unlikely) or to RAID1 it. What do you think? Thank you.
