If buying a NAS it's worth looking for one that supports RAID arrays. I won't bother explaining the jargon but basically the data is spread across all the disks in the NAS array and if one disk fails no data is lost. You lose some overall storage capacity with this technology but gain hardware resilience. When the faulty disk is replaced the array rebuilds itself. RAID is used extensively on servers in data centres.
Best to check on which type of RAID Array suits as there are quite a few gotcha's involved

The only images I store online are on foliopic and PPG and of course the gallery on here otherwise no one would ever see them and in that case I may as well get rid of the camera etc. I used photobucket as it was convenient for putting images in the forum before it became possible to upload direct. What else do you do with the photos you take? I have loads of holiday snaps and slides mouldering away in boxes and I think the next people to see them, if they bother to look will be the house clearance people after I snuff it

Just loaded 117 photos to Flickr and it took 2 hrs. Not bad.
You need a faster connection! Depending on image size, it take me just a few seconds per image.
Send me the required £20 a month and I'll upgrade

I like both versions but prefer the colours and textures in the stone. The lone tree brings out the bleakness of the area.

The loveliest photo I've seen from that area in a long time. One for the wall

I have a tablet and use it for playing Freecell very very occasionally. Used to have Dropbox installed but found I didn't use it. Tend to charge it up, play a game of Freecell, switch it off, check the battery level and the cycle starts again
