Despite being a professional IT spod, I don't really know much about home networks (they're not written in COBOL).
So, I'd like a hard drive, about 500GB I suppose, that I can plug into the back of my wireless router and use to back up the stuff on my laptop.
How would one go about such a thing?
I just bought a buffalo link station live last week from amazon, 1tb, about £120ish and it just plugs in the back of my router at lets my laptop backup stuff.
Why not just plug a portable external hard drive into your laptop and back it up like that (not knowing much means I have probably missed something)
I use a Western Digital Passport 500gb that powers from the USB, quick, light/portable and not overly expensive, reviews reckon they are reliable too
