New iMac, Hughes.net "FAP"-ing me, Article Published...
And now, my home backup drive is making a clunking noise and not reading/writing...
What's next? Is my cat going to barf up a flawless 3 carat emerald?
It WAS a Lacie Ethernet Disk Mini in 500Gb, which I was quite happy with for my uses for over a year.
Now it's a doorstop...
Can anyone recommend an NAS drive that does NOT require "drivers" on computers that are to connect to it, that is in the 750gb to 1.5Tb (1Tb-ish...) range, that is in the "under or around" $200?
Or is there really no such thing?
I will probably set up my G4 MDD as a server/backup, but it doesn't have enough drive space, takes up too much physical space, and uses more electricity than I'd like (ideally).
I DO like networked drives, and if I could find a G4 Mac Mini with a 1TB drive in it, for even $300, I'd be thrilled...
I'd be more thrilled if I actually had the $300 right now, so maybe it would be more accurate to say I'd be thrilled if I found that sort of G4 Mini deal in a month or two...
NAS brand/model suggestions welcomed so I can start researching!
