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!

    Why even buy the raw discs? Their SSDs are trash (including their SanDisk offerings) and for hard drives seagate is perfectly fine. If I’m oka with high a cheap SSD, I’ll just buy an inland drive.

      I have not kept up with their raw disk lineup to be honest, they may be garbo but I am not sure. I have been using toshiba and seagate drives for the last 8 years which have been great.
