I’d like input on how some of you store, consume & protect your media. I have a rather limited knowledge of hardware and also limited floor space & plugs in my surge protector. My current PC has 2 2TB internal hard drives and no Wi-Fi Card from when it was rebuilt 2yrs ago.

Basically, I want something I can store a LOT of video (let’s say 10T+), stream it to my devices, have some type of backup of the material and protection from power failures.

I’ve heard many terms like Media Server, NAS, Raid, UPS & services like Sync.com, etc. and have tried sorting through various videos on YouTube but it just confuses me more.

Any positive responses would be most appreciated!

    Hop over to [email protected] and I’m sure there’s reading material in the sidebar.

    If you want most of the work done for you, I’d just buy a Synology unit.
