Most reliable NAS for under $1000.
I'm getting to the point that I want a NAS for additional backups (already use external USB drives but I want double protection).
Does anyone have experience with a NAS that will be activated only on access. IOW I want a NAS that powers off the hard drives but fires up on LAN access. No sense wasting electricity whle not in use.
I'm thinking 4TB.
I suppose I could just build a computer to do it but I'm wondering if a NAS is not the better way to go.
Thoughts?

I've used Buffalo NAS for 5 years or so, I have a 2T small box about 2 years old and a 500Mb that is 5+ still going strong.
I use a 2T at work for weekly backups. Never had one fail.

If you want ultimate security you can have 2 and they will auto-mirror each other.

Perhaps Karen can repost them under her name, so she can up her post count as well. Maybe you two can recycle each others posts, -- Just think of how fast your post count will shoot up!
