Best Home Network NAS

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the everyone-wants-one dept.

jammerjam writes "My WD 120GB drive got its MBR scrambled so it no longer mounts in my W*ndoze box (I can recover the data so I know that's intact). But now that's made me realize I need to implement my data backup plan. Scouring the Internet I can't find a reliable resource for home NAS solutions. For every positive review I can find a negative that refutes it. My first choice from what I found starts at $1200...I've got $500. Anyone have a suggestion? I'm not looking for enterprise-level storage here — but I do want reliability."

    I read as far as "W*ndoze" and then just gave up on the article. If the submitter cannot act like an adult and not a 12 year old using 'witty insulting names' (ahem) for things then I really can't be bothered to waste my time on him. This is Slashdot, a public forum full of people from all walks of life, this is not a playground, we expect at least some sort of maturity beyond the level shown in this article.

    The only reason I've stuck with Firefox instead of switching to Opera is because there are Firefox extensions that I absolutely depend on. I tested out Firefox 3, and I would switch to it this instant if the extensions were compatible with it.

    OS X is pretty much exactly what you described.
