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!

    with minimal admin required (which is my main issue, i don’t really wanna admin stuff in my free time)

    that’s actually one of my fave recent things they give up with their security reports and points out I installed Entware (aka Optware for alt devices) even thou it’s not been used. They’re nifty things
