Wanted an opinion re: NAS. I don't know the first thing about any of this and am looking to automatically backup a Windows xp desktop and Windows Vista laptop. Both are connected to a wireless router. I am also wanting to stream music/pics/videos to a blu-ray player and TV from time to time. Both the TV and Blu-ray are connected to the router via ethernet cable. My plan is to connect the NAS to the router with a cable so everything can access it. I know that I could probably build something to do this but I have neither the knowledge nor time to do so.
Right now I am looking at this - Readynas Duo 2tb 2x1tb Sata Tt Raidar Gbe RND2210-100NAS - Buy Netgear Network Attached Storage Devices | PCNation.com and as it will auto back up, has raid 2x1tb (the 1tb is more than enough space), and seems to support streaming well. Given that it has a $150 rebate it looks to be a good deal. I looked at both Western Digital and Seagate boxes but they don't seem to be on par with this one. Any thoughts, suggestions, ideas are appreciated. Thank you.
