Storage Help (NAS+Media Streaming+RAID+Automatic Backup)
Hi everyone. I'm currently facing a dilemma trying to choose the best storage solution for me. I have just bought a Netgear R7000 (Nighthawk) 802.11ac router and would like to build my personal hom...
Thanks for the answers. It's always great to learn from who really knows about it.
I've done some recent research and many people advised me that RAID may not be the best option as it may fail and during data rebuild if the box hangs, data is gone.
So, I'm still thinking of getting a NAS, but now I'm thinking not to use RAID. Is it worth to have a NAS and not using RAID capabilities? ReadyNAS can work like that?
In this case, using a 516 or a 314 for DATA, what option would you suggest for BACKUP? Getting another enclosure for BACKUP so the final setup would be... like... 1 NAS for DATA and 1 NAS for BACKUP?
In such scenario, is it possible to connect each other and run some kind of backup software like SyncBack Free to schedule automatic and periodic backup jobs?
One of my biggest concerns is related to reliability/security. I'm still trying to find the optimum setup for DATA + BACKUP with all the requirements mentioned before (media streaming for heavy content - FullHd videos, RAW photos... and accessible virtually from anywhere on the planet) and, of course, securely stored behind some sort of firewall or any other security solution.
