@irj what's going on it? If important stuff like photos etc then think about backup
-
You can add Backblaze for cloud backups.

yeah. I am wondering if a RAID 1 is sufficient or if I should also do backups. I dont want to be involved in troubleshooting anything on a regular basis.

I have one. I haven't had any issues with it, and performance is pretty good. I can pull over 50 Mb/s on average.

I actually just bought the 12TB model so not sure yet. It’s been a while since I bought Buffalo. I have bought them in the past and they have faired well.

@irj yeah that should be fine but what happens if the house burns down.
It's all about risk etc. But I would be happy with just raid1

I concur with ReadyNAS or Synology recommendations. Buffalo Terastations have been hit and miss, not sure that I trust it any longer.

I've heard mixed reviews about Buffalo terrastations which is why I asked.

It is always hit and miss.

If you want to lower risk, look at the Synology-based IOsafe devices. Able to live through a fire and flood. Still just a Synology, but like a Synology is a fire proof safe.

Definitely out of the consumer price range for any RAID 1 NAS, although I find it odd that they have iosafe Solo units. I would think the risk of a hard drive failing is much more likely than fire or flooding.

Sure, but perhaps it's a sync'ed NAS...
so you can wind up with a situation where you're more worried about fire than disk failure. -

The WD MyCloud vulnerability that's why I thought so.
