        @irj what's going on it? If important stuff like photos etc then think about backup 😀

          You can add Backblaze for cloud backups.

            yeah. I am wondering if a RAID 1 is sufficient or if I should also do backups. I dont want to be involved in troubleshooting anything on a regular basis.

              Not a bad price, but How has your experience been with Buffalo?

                I have one. I haven't had any issues with it, and performance is pretty good. I can pull over 50 Mb/s on average.

                  I actually just bought the 12TB model so not sure yet. It’s been a while since I bought Buffalo. I have bought them in the past and they have faired well.

                    @irj yeah that should be fine but what happens if the house burns down.

                    It's all about risk etc. But I would be happy with just raid1

                        I concur with ReadyNAS or Synology recommendations. Buffalo Terastations have been hit and miss, not sure that I trust it any longer.

                          I've heard mixed reviews about Buffalo terrastations which is why I asked.

                            It is always hit and miss.

                              If you want to lower risk, look at the Synology-based IOsafe devices. Able to live through a fire and flood. Still just a Synology, but like a Synology is a fire proof safe.

                                Definitely out of the consumer price range for any RAID 1 NAS, although I find it odd that they have iosafe Solo units. I would think the risk of a hard drive failing is much more likely than fire or flooding.

                                  Sure, but perhaps it's a sync'ed NAS...
                                  so you can wind up with a situation where you're more worried about fire than disk failure.
