I bought myself a new NAS (network attached storage) drive for Christmas. It is a Buffalo TeraStation 8GB drive that has four 2GB drives. I have set it up as a RAID 5 drive so that if any one drive fails the others will still work until I get a replacement drive and I will not lose any files. I ended up with about 5.5GB of useable space. Right now it is 45% full.
The drives on the left are my former drives. They are Buffalo LinkStation drives with two 1GB drives in them that used to be mirrored drives. I removed the RAID mirroring and now use them as my back up drives to the TeraStation for additional redundancy.
I can access the TeraStation anywhere in the world that I can access the internet. I think I am good for a while until I start to burn my DVDs to digital files :). Yes, I am a semi-geek when it comes to computers.
