[QUOTE="Scott_R, post: 1713981, member: 240516"] I [I]don't[/I] want NAS. I've had nonstop corruption issues ("Time Machine completed a verification of your backups. To improve reliability, Time Machine must create a new backup for you."), where I'll have to create a new backup, then get a verification error the next day. From what I've read this seems to be SOP for Time Machine via NAS--less so for Time Capsule than a non-Apple networked drive, but still annoyingly frequent (current drive is a WD that supposedly has TM support). I'd gone for NAS over gigabit Ethernet so I could easily back up my iMac and MacBook to the same big volume, but the nonstop corruption issues aren't worth it. I'll get direct hookup drives for now on. [/QUOTE]
