Warning there be geek questions afoot.
I'm finding myself in need of a way to do proper backups of my computer systems (one laptop & one desktop) and storage space for media files.
Eventualy looking at streaming media to the living room, for now I just want all my media off my PC's
I've been poking at the idea of a NAS device but have some very specific needs:
1) I must be able to do backups wirelessly to the NAS device from my laptop.
2) It must play nice with my Bell router/modem combo, a Bell 2 wire 2701HG-G Gateway modem / router combo.
3) Hot swapability of drives is also a key need
4) Web based access to my NAS device would be desirable from outside the home as well, both using the laptop and my iPhone.
Any suggestions?
