Yes, for the foreseeable future, basically our entire lives (in pics/video) would be in the cloud. Maybe it's me getting old, but that just doesn't sit entirely well with me.

I've been looking at some Local NAS set ups for the house. How good/reliable are these? What types/brands of HDD do you IT folks prefer/recommend?
