Should we move to Networked Storage?

5GHz wave will penetrate obstacles better than 2.4GHz wave.

this is wrong i suppose, correct me if i am wrong
5ghz cannot penetrate as good as 2.4ghz thats why it has less range but less suspectibe to interference

How about RAID ??

How about RAID ??

raid1?
what if u get very high voltage
and psu and along with mobo and hdd die?

just thinking all different instances

of course a high quality psu will protect by sacrificing itself

NAS also uses same HDD as the pc uses
So how will it have a low failure rate?
Can any old pc be turned into a NAS?
I have a old AMD sempron with 1gb ram and 2 SATA1 ports with 100mbps Ethernet... Fairly old enough, right? How much power will it consume???

And if you do frequent backups of big files you need a gigabit connection to be future proof and 5ghz WiFi if you use laptop
I'm planning to buy a gigabit., dual band router soon

NAS hdds can be logically arranged (RAID)...Data loss is less when compared to pc storage.
PC can also be configured for Raid...but that will inturn slow your pc down in the long run (more data.....slower the performance).
Your old pc can be used as a data storage server...it would be good...and less costly solution.....totally be configured using OS (windows,linux).

Yes, you're right about this. 5Ghz have got weaker penetration against solid objects.

i was wrong earlier.5Ghz radio waves indeed have lower penetrating power than 2.4GHz.i was thinking about x-ray & gamma ray but totally forgot about excitation potential.

Friendly storage.

Dump your data on your friend's machine who has excess of storage.

Have been doing that for quite a while now. Not reliable, but works.

What if an earthquake occurs?
