      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.

                  WD MyCloud. I hear they're easy to remote support.

                          That's not a pun, though.

                            Then it was a bad use of the phrase, I thought pun intended had the meaning of a joke. Again I am really bad with idioms.

                              Pun refers to a specific kind of linguistic joke where you have one word with two meanings, or rhyming words with two meanings. You need a rhyme or a homonym to have a pun.

                              For example... Most people think that these kinds of jokes aren't punny.

                              See how "punny" rhymes with "funny?" That's what makes it a pun, rather than a generic joke. And also what makes it generally not very funny. lol

                                lol - yeah I was reading this as being nothing more than poking fun at WD, and assumed there must be some kind of remote vulnerabilities in them. 😛
