I have grown tired of my method of backup storage. I have 6 1t external drives that not more than 2 are plugged in at a time. Will a Seagate 6TB BlackArmor NAS 220 Network Hard Drive work for BD play back?

I ended up ordering one of those WD 6tb external drives in my 2nd post. It was $170 less. I can put everything on it and have plenty of space left.

I was always reluctant to set up a server for one the power required to keep all those drives spinning. My current drives can backup the backups if this one fails.

It does have some issues but for the most part they relate to Mac users.
