    I lost years of work because of an HDD failure. Bought a Synology dual bay because one thing I'm sure is, it will happen again. Everything is on the NAS now, even Time Machine. Only problem is iPhoto/Photos because of disk formats..

    • how is it connected to your network?Gnash
    • gigabit ethernet to the iMac, everything else gets there via wifi. Can get to my files from anywhere. Doesn't need a computer on.ESKEMA
    • Are you using Raid1 (mirroring)?Gnash
    • so it doesn't need to be connected to the router to access it from other computers as well?Gnash
    • It does need to be connected to the router for Internet and shit, but you could hook it up directly from a switch if you don't need it accessible else. Raid 1.ESKEMA
