Would like to centralize and simplify my data warehousing. Currently have about 100gb of "cloud storage" over several different providers, about 2tb of audio files (mp3, mp4, audiobooks), 2tb of television programs stored as mp4, 2tb of movies in mp4 mostly 720p and 1080p, some smaller. 3 desktop mac's with about 1tb on each system (one currently hosts all of the audio/video library so not counted here). Our internal network is throttled to 1Gb/s due to internet provider's combined modem/router. I plan to connect a backup drive to whatever NAS selected to provide backup of the NAS. All user devices are Apple (mac, ipad, iphone). I have no preference of NAS brand, but think maybe 4 drives is probably better than 2.
