[QUOTE="Chris F, post: 7098655, member: 5328"] It acts as a single drive on your network - so will appear as a letter (mine is Z:) and you can copy things to it and have folders on it, just like any other drive. But it has 2 hard discs in the device (mine actually has 4 and you can get them with more). When you set the device up (they is a wizard that guides you through the process) you select the level of protection you want. I use Raid 10, which means information is kept on both hard discs at the same time. Therefore if one drive fails (has happened to me twice in 7 years), you simply pull that drive out the front and put a new one in. It then spends a few hours rebuilding the content. The drive plugs into your router via a cat5 cable and has its own power cable. I suppose its like a computer without a screen and just there for storage. Really is a simple setup. This is the model I have: [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.broadbandbuyer.com/products/21652-wd-wdbwze0160kbk-eesn/[/URL] Benefits - you can keep everything on these drives, so nothing needs to be kept on a computer.
