My iMac internal hard drive is maxed out with movies, pictures and music and I am looking at external storage and NAS devices.
In addition to the maxed out 600g hard drive I have a 2TB Time capsule.
Is it possible to use a new external drive as the home for my ITunes folders and content, and will Apple TV and iPads be able to seamlessly connect to this content if on an external drive?
Also, if I am able to use an external drive as the read/ write source for ITunes, can I configure my Time capsule to be able to back this up automatically...or does time capsule only back up internal hard drives?
In terms of storage or NAS devices to buy..I have been steered towards synology web site..but not sure what I would need as a set up....basically looking for future proof expandable storage that can also be used as above for media, and potentially even accessed over the internet.
Welcome any guidance please.... :confused
