I have an elderly Buffalo Linkstation. It is a LS-CHL V1 many years old and just 500GB.
Only use it as a central document store for the family.
It gave me quite a fright today. Was in EM Mode and everything suggested that I was going to lose everything. To my relieve using the firmware updater recovered it but I no longer trust it, it is very old and rather low capacity.
I'm only thinking 1 or 2 GB.
What I would really like though is something that does an independent backup in the background.
Not really interested in using it to stream media nor am I too worried about the speed.
What would be nice is one where the disk is readable by a PC should the NAS fail and I need to recover data.
So what would you recommend?
Cheers,
Nigel
