I currently have a 2TB NVMe drive that I use as a Time Machine backup, but it's only available when plugged in and if I leave long enough gaps between connecting to it, the space on my MacBook Pro is eaten up pretty quickly.
That's something I can easily address by connecting it more often, but it's a suitable solution. Apart from the fact I was previously using a Seagate branded NAS as a Time Machine drive but that was always unreliable and then finally game up about a year ago.
I've always dreamt of having a RAID 1 NAS drive to back up to. One that could do Time Machine backups and offer some redundant storage for whatever I need.
I haven't found that solution, or at leat I haven't committed to one yet. Buffalo's LS220DE-EU seems to be exactly what I need but reviews are mixed and I'd prefer SSDs over spinning disks but then it gets expensive quickly.
For now my solution works as a backup and in truth I don't remember needing to retrieve a backup but the safety net is nice to have.
