It’s getting time to retire the old Apple Airport Time Capsule, and I’m looking recommendations on easy-to-use replacements. This would be used for general files and automatic laptop backups.

Requirements:

  • At least 2TB
  • Capable of archiving to an offline disk used as an off-site backup
  • Easy enough for my parents to use
  • Not crazy expensive if possible

I’ve never used a dedicated NAS, so I’m humbly seeking the opinions of the Lemmy experts. Thank you!

    If you want low effort high value then get a synology 2 bay. If you want full control over the host OS then run Debian/arch with zfs
