    Recommendations for Home Backup

    Thanks for the advice. I am definitely sticking to disks on the compatibility charts. I settled on the Duo, with a 1TB disk pre-installed (with a discount it was like getting the hard-drive for free) + another drive of the same type to install for RAID 1. I will avoid RAID 0 striping for...

    Firstly, let me say I'm a big fan of this site. The articles have been incredibly helpful. This is my first post in the forums. Having read "Smart SOHOS don't do RAID", and a bunch of other useful stuff, I sat down and really thought about what I need. While I might consider a NAS...
