The need for good and reliable storage is increasing as we record more and more of our lives digitally. Whether it is important private photos, our music collections, or even our DVD-collections that have been ripped to disks - we need ways to store these files safely.

At one time, floppy-discs were large enough to store most of our important files, but we are at a point today where DVDs are not even large enough for most people to store all they want.

This need for storage has let the external storage market exploding, and consumers now have a wide variety of storage to choose from; starting with simple, cheap flash-based USB sticks, up to expensive but feature-rich NAS-storage enclosures.
