    Sorry if I'm rehashing old ideas, but I need help!

    Need Recommendation on Best NAS for my Needs (Synology DS411j)

    Thanks! That's really helpful. As long as I'm able to view, browse, share, and offsite backup (Carbonite) on the NAS as if it were merely an extension of my computer it sounds like the Synology stuff might work. Thanks so much for helping me narrow this down! Now I just need to decide...
