@Linux it doesnt look stupid, but i also forgot to mention its gonna be in my bedroom xD
I got no idea how much noise storage servers make in idle mode -
-
@Linux oh :o
But theyre out of my budget, sadly.
I was thinking Asustor AS1002T or Synology Disk Station DS218j, thats more of my budget. Or if a HDD, WD Elements Portable U3 on 2TB. -
@JiggleTits
Well, you can do alot more with a Microserver than a NAS or external drive ;) -
@Linux already got a HP Proliant N40L, but i think its a bit too noisy :i

@Linux about 2 TB. I dont really have a use for another microserver, so its either hdd or nas, as thats cheaper

@Emphiliis ill take a peek at it tomorrow, thanks for the comment :)

Well... Erm...
External Storage recommendation questions.
Im in need of some sort of external storage, either a harddrive or a NAS server, but idk what to get.
Price should be reasonable for the security and storage space it gives, so heres what i figured so far for pros and cons:
NAS Server:
+ Bigger capacity
+ Raid option
+ Easily expandable
+ Always accessible via the network (local)
- Difficult to transport (not gonna do that, but still)
- Expensive
- Physically larger
- Consumes power 24/7 (i dont pay for power currently)
Harddrive:
+ Easy to pack away and transport
+ Cheaper
- If drive fails, youre fucked
- If you want larger capacity, you end up with two external backups
What do you guys do? Im not sure what i should do :i
Any advice is appreciated.
It will be used for external backup, as mentioned. For my server and my own pc.
