Cleared for Takeoff
I'm thinking of putting an NAS server in to provide storage for the 3-4-5 computers that tend to be running at my house. I bought into Windows Home Server years ago and it never was as easy to use and productive as I'd hoped, although it saved my bacon on a hard disk crash once.
I have a computer in my shop, one in my home office, the Surface Pro floats around and I have a laptop that usually floats around the living room/kitchen area. I'd like something the wife could use to access audio and video as well.
I'd like something that is more or less like a cloud in my own home. It looks like one is going to have to pay $500-$1,000 for the server and then add the hard drives, is that your experience?
I'd spend $1,000 in a heartbeat but $2,000 better really deliver. Any personal experiences or suggestions to share?
I've looked at C/NET reviews but otherwise have very little knowledge of them.
TIA
