    Anyone Familiar with Home Networks/File Servers?

    Thanks, Pat. I'll do some research! Yep, MB. Gotta pay to play, I suppose. Our two 5S iPhones were ~$1100 in October, the monthly bill for my phones and my folks is around $250. On that note, I hope the next iPhone has more storage available, I use my camera like a fiend. Heather's laptop...

    It's relative. That $4.1k is 2 64GB iPad Minis, 1 128GB iPad Air, and a 13" Mac Book Pro Retina. By comparison, my laptop I'm on now cost me $4200, and the iMac setup (extra screen, mounts, etc) is $4900. I want 2 extra screens, but that may have to wait. 3 27" monitors would offer plenty of...

    Anyone Familiar with Home Networks/File Servers?

    It's not a current priority, but it's not too far down the line assuming work keeps plodding along. What I am trying to accomplish: Highly expandable (capacity) file server. 10-15TB starting out with ideally no limit. Some variety of disk failure protection (parity drive, RAID, etc) Wireless...
