Louise, Glad to hear..,
In terms of NAS, I stick with ReadynAS from NetGear, they are not the best, but, they haven’t let me down to date. Reasonably priced and I put hard drives in usually made by any of the main manufacturers, ask if you need advice. Most NAS interface’s which run over your network are poor from an accessibility stance, however, not completely so, the key thing is you will likely only ever need to configure it once, then just leave it well be. Mine’s been operating quite happily now for several years without intervention.
