I have been thinking for a while now that I'm gonna need to upgrade my hard drive to a TB. I have a thing where I have to buy at least double the size I had before to reassure myself I wont fill it any time soon.

 

So I was thinking of getting myself a NAS, buying myself a TB and slapping it into*a NAS.

 

Of course you then hit the problem, what happens when it's full? Well it'd mean plugging it into my PC and getting a new one or... well it's a fair bit of messing so I reached the conclusion a 2 Bay NAS means if I fill 1TB... which will take me till we have 1.5 or 2TB drive* sizes. Then I can get a 2TB, and by the time the 2TB is full we'll probably have 4TB, so I can then*copy the data from*the 1TB to the 4TB and have a 2TB*and 4TB in the bay (making sense so far?)

 

I've been reading up and a few things have worried me so far, the Netgear SC-101 seemed like a winner until I found out it uses a*proprietary file system which means you can't move drives out of it to transfer data which is annoying to say the least.**So far*none of them so far apart from the Thecus N299 (which is apparently awful on transfer times) mention being able to be used on wireless.

 

So I have a few questions you may be able to answer for me, Niners!

 

1) As it stand I imagine you could plug the RJ45 of the NAS into one of the outputs on a wireless router and map it as a network drive?

(I know the speed will be an issue but with Wireless N not far away that should become less of a problem)

 

2) Do any of you know*if proprietary file systems are wide spread in NAS?

 

3) Do any of you have a*NAS device*you may want to recommend to me?
