Anyone purchased a NAS recently - any experiences to share?
I have been recommended to look at Synology and ideally a raid device, which seems sensible. What i need is something that I can easily expand the capacity of in the future. I don't run a network at here but if I understand things correctly (that would be a first) if I plug a NAS into our Virgin router or indeed any of the local switches i have - workshop, living room, sons bedroom, the NAS should be capable of backing up every device without any need to set all of the computers up on a formal network.
Something with a really simple interface would be good as i don't speak computer geek :o( (as you can tell from the above!)
Hope that all makes sense!
Any pearls of wisdom folks?
