Can anyone guide me through my options for linking a NAS to my iMac / network. The time machine function would be good to have as there is no way I will remember to backup regularly.
So far I think I have come up with these options:
-I’m aware of the time capsule, which would be the simplest option, but of course there is an apple premium to pay (not keen on this one)
-I’ve seen a WD 2tb drive which apparently functions with time machine since apple updated the OS and made it a p.i.t.a to use time machine with any non- apple device
-get AirPort Extreme and just plug in a USB drive and this will function as a NAS (and presumably with TM)
– do away with all the fancy business and just get a USB drive
