      Buffalo TeraStation 1200D Desktop 4 TB NAS Hard Drives Included
      https://www.amazon.com/Buffalo-TeraStation-Desktop-Drives-Included/dp/B00ND1L2EQ/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?ie=UTF8&qid=1515366273&sr=8-1-spons&keywords=buffalo+nas&psc=1

      Not a bad price, but How has your experience been with Buffalo?

      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.

                  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.

                          WD MyCloud. I hear they're easy to remote support.

                                    Then it was a bad use of the phrase, I thought pun intended had the meaning of a joke. Again I am really bad with idioms.

                                      Pun refers to a specific kind of linguistic joke where you have one word with two meanings, or rhyming words with two meanings. You need a rhyme or a homonym to have a pun.

                                      For example... Most people think that these kinds of jokes aren't punny.

                                      See how "punny" rhymes with "funny?" That's what makes it a pun, rather than a generic joke. And also what makes it generally not very funny. lol

                                        lol - yeah I was reading this as being nothing more than poking fun at WD, and assumed there must be some kind of remote vulnerabilities in them. 😛
