I’ll look into that.
Thanks for the tip.
The QNAP boxes at the office work very well too.
If you want to get really fancy, get yourself a UPS.
Anyway, the ReadyNas family of boxes are pretty slick. The version I have is a two drive mirrored RAID. The drives are hotpluggable. It talks to my UPS and I use an inexpensive USB drive and cloud access for backups. The power up/power down schedule can be set up too and when the drives are allowed to spin down and go to sleep and the unit to turn off. It manages and monitors drive, system, fan, backup drive, and UPS health and reports status via email.
It can be set up as a print server so if you have a USB interface printer, it can be made available to all computers on your network.
It allows for full user group management and can be set up for snapshots (old version of files) which fill up the disk but it can be managed and is smart.
It has virus checker software.
There are around 20 different apps that can be installed to add more features and function.
