If there's one thing you can be sure of in the world of computing, it's that no matter how much storage you have, you'll find a way of filling it. It's also at that exact point, where all your drives are full to the brim, that one of your hard drives dies, ensuring the loss of as much data as possible. With games taking up more and more space, broadband connections allowing the download of large files in less time, and the ability to store media such as music and DVD collections on hard drives, the need for capacious, reliable storage has never been so great. Take that idea into the office and never before have we had such media rich files traversing networks. Data needs sharing and storing, and there's an awful lot of it.
Adding or upgrading hard drive is one solution to storage problems, but soon enough that'll probably fill up too, and if something disastrous happens to the computer, you could be waving goodbye to your data. Today we're taking a look at an alternative solution for the small or home office, or perhaps the media junkie.
