Can't access NAS - password fail - and not showing up on TV
Hi all, Firstly, thanks for any help you might be able to give me. Mods - please move this if it needs to be in a different forum, I looked, but I couldn't work out which it needed to be in, it d...
OK, sorry it's taken a while to reply, but we finally got it working. You were right (obviously), StephenB, it was a sharing thing. It's working on the TV through the WDLive now. :)
Now just to argue with the RAID. I need to change it. I've backed the data on the NAS up to a HDD, and decided to go with RAID1. I think this is the best idea, because, as I understand it, it means that if one drive fails the other one will act as backup. I don't *really* need backup because I have it all uploaded to the cloud, but, I think that will be the best long-term. I've had a few drives fail in the last couple of years and had to DL a lot of repeat stuff.
I'd be interested in your thoughts, particularly as I have a 6-bay NAS. Do you think it'll be Ok with six drives as three pairs? For example, currently there are two 2.5Tb drives in there, but I want to put another two pairs of 3Tb drives in there in due time...
I think that if I duplicate the data onsite, PLUS use an offsite cloud backup (through Crashplan) - that should see me safe...
Do you think that's a good idea?
