Too many users abused unlimited Dropbox plans, so they’re getting limits::Some people have taken “as much space as you need” too literally.

    You make excellent points. I think the key difference for me when I got the NAS was that I wasn’t replacing an existing system. That and I actually enjoy playing with storage and networking, so I’m able to cover most of those bases you mentioned myself.

    For the power issues, you may want to look into getting a UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) for anything you want to stay powered. Larger ones can get pretty expensive, but you can usually find some smaller ones for a decent price that I think would be fine for small business use. I’ve used and had good experience with UPSs made by APC.

      I do have a UPS for some of my stuff. I was planning on getting another small one for some networking stuff, but no reason I couldn’t get a bigger one to cover another device.
