Storage Drive, which one to get?

[Micki78]

I am a noob so i dont know all the terminolgy.

I just need a 3tb or more storage, which one should i get. I saw bufflos is it good? Main thing is durable.

1. State your budget
2. Look at NAS, DAS or removable hard disk?

 

[Micki78]

less than 400?
I dont know what is nas, das etc... i just need something simple to transfer photo files, video etc.

You mean durable of your data stored in the hard disk?

 

[Micki78]

any recommendation? how about buffolas?

got a few types, one is connect direct to comp (direct attached storage, DAS) or connect to network (network attached storage, NAS), both got their own difference... many new DAS use USB 3.0, which is much faster than gigabit ethernet, but it is usually bottlenecked by the spinning harddisk (which limits transfer rate to about 80MB/s)...

you talk about bufflo, which type? nas or das? afaik, they make both types...
