[QUOTE="bluemoon222, post: 1622683, member: 29810"] I am looking to move all of my digital libraries to a NAS....at the moment all of our photos and music and movies comfortably sits on a 4TB RAID in my 6 year old MacPro (10.7.5) We extensively use SONOS for music and sometimes use Plex for movies and we share to an Apple TV in the lounge Since this machine is effectively the "master" it is also where we sync and back up our 2 iPads, 2 iPods and my iPhone. It has: 1 x 120 GB SSD Boot 2 x SATA 2TB in a RAID array 1 x 160GB SATA Back up is to local USB drive using Timemachine and a Superduper image of the SSD boot drive where the apps reside to the local 160GB SATA It runs well but remote access to iPhoto Libraries would be nice as well as taking this extra radiator out of my office ! Am thinking to tidy my home office by: 1. Add NAS to network (will go in cupboard under stairs where other equipment sits) 2. Acquire laptop (likely a Macbook Air) 3. Sell the Pro Questions: 1. Others doing this and good or bad experiences ? 2. Backup when I move - am thinking to buy a 4 BAY NAS (Synology ?) and put 2 x 4TB RAID arrays in stripe between them...does that work ? [/QUOTE]
