The Future of Home Network Storage

Sunday August 13, 2006
| Commentary | Experts have occasionally predicted that network storage will become a popular technology in homes. It sounds reasonable at first: home computers are storing larger amounts of important data every year - financial records, family videos and photos, music - and network attached storage is probably the most flexible way to maintain copies of it all. Yet few people have bothered to set up such a system. Do you believe that beefy growth in network storage is really going to happen as predicted in a recent study by ABI Research?
Bradley's take - It's better to keep backups outside of your home in case of fire, flood or other disastrous incidents there.

He’s right .But how many people even bother to backup all the data they have in-House? Most want to utlize the disk space they have rather than losing capacity to some non-essential like backup. Until they lose all their data that is.
