I can't speak for that particular device, but you should definitely have a NAS of some sort.

Not everyone needs a backup for their 5 TB porn collection.

Why not just put some extra hdds in the computer? It's got networking... NAS just seems like the biggest scam...

NAS is for losers.

Good luck salvaging your HDD's when your AMD hardware starts a fire.

Literal botnet

discrete gfx cards are for losers and unproductive people. I'll be fine with my intel hd 4600

No.
Because the point of that thing is to have LONG TERM off-line external storage that you can use to back-up game installations/music/video media/porn every month or few months, and leave it alone for a few months unless the need arises to take something from it.

It's literally the equivalent of buying books to keep a collection in the shelves, as opposed to e-books and shit. Sort of.

whats the point of having 3 HDDs with the same shit on it?

just buy 2 HDDs and put the same shit on it.
what are the chances of having TWO HDDs shitting themselves a the same time? 0

the 3rd (or more) HDD is just autism
lol

>whats the point of having 3 HDDs with the same shit on it?
2 HDDs to share the same shit in parallel in case 1 gives out, and 3rd for parity i assume.
But anon, that thing is a 2 drive storage WD where you insert the HDDs from the top if my memory is correct.

I did this. I had to either buy a NAS (or san) or just add disks to my server and keep it always on. My server pulls 60W when idling so that wasn't bad. I just slammed a RAID10 array there and now I have pretty gud vm storage
