Just wanted to have a simple setup that has the OS and applications in one place. Also to have a single backup that I can restore ( OS & Apps)next time round if I run out of space ( Acronis Clone copY). the previous mail was nothing for you to bite on, just to highlight my naivity about accepting the sata3 bumpf.

 I run Acronis myself in a continues clone/backup loop........yup! lazy as hell I is!........I actually do this over 2 separate drives.......so in the worst case event...........I can completely clone copy everything in a couple of hours over Esata or firewire for that matter

likeminded thinking, cannot believe how long a backup from the usb3 external drive was going to tale ....11 hours. Couldnt be bothered so reloaded win again with all the pain of updates etc. Well Im back to where I started right now , with my 2 1TB  raid0 , with the two 2Tb sata3 on the shelf. May decide to use them for as NAS , and off load all the large video, music & photos to them.  Never used NAS system so could you advise on which one to go for,  ie Netgear, Dlink ???? and any pitfalls with the concept.

 Either have I, but I know several people that use them, both wired and wireless networks.....If you need a read, go here!....

 At the end of the day Storage is Storage, whether it's in your PC , sitting on the desk, or even in the spare room up stairs connected wirelessly, raid or non raid........NAS or  "Network Attached Storage" is becoming more popular as drives and empty NAS boxes have started hitting the shelves.

 Adding extra storage can be as simple as popping in an extra drive to your NAS box.......nothing else!.......and some of the latest wireless Boxes boast 802.11N speeds!........Bargain!
