[QUOTE="SteveH, post: 369732, member: 9252"] Like others have said, I use a NAS (Network Attached Storage) device. The model I have is a DLink, and will take 2 disks up to 3TB each. I have mine mirrored so if one of the disks fails, the other will still have a copy of my data, and you can also attach an external USB drive to create an extra backup. My plan, is once the 3TB is full, approximately next summer, then I will buy a 4 disk NAS and by that time there will be disks up to 16TB on the market, so a pair of them, or 4 x 10 TB should see me right. If you have a look on Amazon, under the computer section for NAS. If you get one, make sure it has 2 disks minimum and will either backup from one to the other, or do mirroring (RAID1) to protect you against disk failure. ETA - This is the model I have [url=http://www.amazon.co.uk/D-Link-ShareCenter-Network-Storage-Enclosure/dp/B008HNRD4I/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1413962997&sr=8-1&keywords=nas]D-Link ShareCenter 2 Bay Cloud Network Storage Enclosure: Amazon.co.uk: Computers & Accessories[/url] It has sat quietly working away for two years without a problem - The only issue with it now, is that it will only take disks up to 3TB, no bigger.
