[QUOTE="piperbarb, post: 294303, member: 12214"] I completely agree with you about cloud storage costs, and the issue of privacy. I have 7 TB of storage set up using Seagate's Goflex Home server. When I start to run out of space, all I have to do is add another External drive to the setup. I have been using it for almost 3 years now. It works with any OS and has been very reliable. I even have all my movies, TV shows, etc. on it. I can access the files from either TV in the house. It worked out very well, especially for Gary, when his headaches were really bad and all he could do was watch TV and movies. I do have everything backed up on a series of portable, external drives, so it is not as if I have no back up. I also use it as a backup for my photos (which are also backed up on a portable external drive) so i can get to them from whatever computer I may be using. I found the Seagate GoFlex system affordable and reliable. Oh, and I can access it from anywhere, not just my home network. I have my own personal cloud. The NAS is hardwired to the router via ethernet, as is one of the TVs. Everything else is wireless. I do not have a large house, so that is not a problem. I am able to access everything even if I am outside or at the barn. The barn is about 100+ feet from the house. [/QUOTE]
