2.0TB OWC/Raidon Gigabit NAS... Anyone have one of these?

[TKYR1967]

I want to go to a NAS Solution and I am tossing around ideas. I want to be able to use it as a Time Machine Backup, Media Library and have a mirror for safety purposes. I would also love to be able to access my files from work or from wherever.

 

The guy at Macsales this would do it for me. I guess I just need info/help.

 

I have thought about Airport Extreme with a USB disk, Time Capsule and now this situation.

Hi TKYR1967 - Yeah, that unit should cover you. Make sure it will work with Time Machine though. I'm actually surprised it will work with TM because it's a NAS drive not connected to an Airport Extreme. Can you double check on this one?

I was concerned about that too. I figured the guy was just trying to make a sale and that is why he said it wold work. SO if my Mac sees it as a internet attached drive, doesn't mean I can automatically use it for time machine?

 

I just want the best and easiest solution.

I've never been able to select a NAS drive as a TM drive. It has to be USB to an Airport Extreme or a Tim Capsule drive.

I might do a 500GB time capsule for time machine and a NAS for other stuff.
