It’s getting time to retire the old Apple Airport Time Capsule, and I’m looking recommendations on easy-to-use replacements. This would be used for general files and automatic laptop backups.
Requirements:
- At least 2TB
- Capable of archiving to an offline disk used as an off-site backup
- Easy enough for my parents to use
- Not crazy expensive if possible
I’ve never used a dedicated NAS, so I’m humbly seeking the opinions of the Lemmy experts. Thank you!
You might consider something like the friendly elec CM3588 for a DIY option with openmediavault or freenas. I have a big old box currently with spinning metal, but am looking at this as an option now that there are some larger m.2 drives available.
