I'm happy using a NAS drive which gets backed up about every two months. Complete image of drive, no compression in my backup.
I have a Buffalo Terastation Pro. Fan noise is too loud for me even though it's in a separate room. The fan is always running- even in winter (Texas winters). Will move to an Infrant NV+ when the next 'new model' comes out from them.
All NASs are slow but only for that first big upload of info. Use a 1 gig network connection and it will take a few hours and be over that one time it's necessary to do.
Can't imagine storing my music on a laptop hard drive. That seems risky.
