I'm delving into the realm of NAS for file storage & backup. I think I've narrowed it down to two solutions:
My question is - I thought Time Machine required the backup drive to be HFS+ format? Reading through some Synology forums, it appears HFS+ isn't supported. So how do they claim compatibility with TM?
Also, in Appple.com forums I've heard several horror stories of people backing to 3rd party drives, then not be able to recover from them when needed. Anyone have any real experience with either of these drives + restoring from TM?
Thanks,
DB
