RE: What's your next "digital" purchase for audio ?


Are you backing up your 6TB NAS RAID to another disk? Some NAS will allow you to do this over USB or the network.

I mention this because the RAID itself is not really a "backup". The disks maybe mirrored or use parity (RAID 5, 6, whatever) so the disks themselves may be protected. However, there are several single points of failure in a consumer RAID. If the power supply goes out, your RAID is down. If the controller goes out, your RAID is down. Etc.

Backing up your NAS to another external disk is a good idea.
