Unless you really need the functions of a NAS, another USB drive would be best (and a lot cheaper). Lots of threads here about NAS use, readynas DUO, etc. I have a readynas duo and it was a waste for my purposes. The real key is to also store this in a different location. I'm really paranoid

Get another 1Tb drive (it does take a lng time to fill 1Tb, even with lossless) and then use some good backup software like SyncBack (excellent free version - Google it) to keep both your drives in sync. -- moley6knipe dBpoweramp Reference 13.4 VortexBox 1.3 SqueezeCenter 7.5.0
