Chart Comparing NAS Specs

[bigten333]

I currently use an I/O/Magic 500GB external drive for backups. It tipped over today and yes, I lost the backups. Everytime I look into NAses to RAID 1 I decide to wait.

Do any of you know of any charts that compare the specs on different NAS devices including the format of the drives? I want to be able to pop the drive into a PC if the enclosure fails.

Thanks!

There is no Chart that summarizes drive formats, but the information is in the Features table for most models.

No NASes use Windows drive formats (NTFS, FAT32). At minimum, you'll need to look for NASes that use EXT2/3 and use a driver or mount program. See this information.
