so back to the NAS vs external 3TB drive debate.
which be best?
this is just a scoblefact not actual gospel so needs confirmation.
are NAS boxes running some kind of internal software (even if not in raid configuration) that means if the box dies you can't just put the drives in an enclosure and start using them?
if this is the case i would rather go down the JBOD route and have a 2 bay enclosure (usb for cheapness/ sata FW800 for speed) and let something like chronosync take care of making the back-ups and just put the drives off-site when full.
anyone with greater knowledge able to confirm this is the case? or not?
