Main use will be storage of local history - about 20gb, rising fast, hence extra hard drive for back up. Also scanning/photo editing.
So....Is Raid adequate for 100% reliable automatic backup, or Acronis better?
-Is it worth expense of full MS Office software?
-Need to download large files to memory stick/laptop. Is USB3 a good idea for future proofing?
-Any other suggestions or comments, please?
