Three Macs, one PC (that I could live without backing up...), and one of those Macs is pretty much redundant, and will probably go away.
I've just really liked the "no moving drives around" backup convenience, AND having the NAS in an outside accessible closet. Not quite as good as an "off site" backup, but a bit of a hedge in that direction.
The Lacie's 1TB version goes for $179... but reviews on that version are a bit worse than for the 500gb model I have - it seems that the power supplies go out VERY regularly.
I was just wondering if there were any other models in the same price zone I should look at...
I'm OK with fairly slow transfers... automated backups with SuperDuper work fine so I can go to bed, and let them do their thing...
