Data is Data....you can loose it either way. All of my family pics, MP3's,
Video's, Movies, and system images are all backed up via Non-RAID system and
removeable media...for much less than the cost of a NAS unit. So how secure
is it...well, the system images are in the safe and the backup HD's that I
use are split in between work and home (one in my toolbox and one on my desk
at home). Even if my PC catches on fire and everything is destroyed...I
have a backup with a 10 minute system rebuid. Can't say that most
corporations can rebuild a system that quick. :)

Bah, either your data is secure from loss or it is not. That whole home
vs corporate mentality assumes that somehow, home user data isn't WORTH
as much as corporate data. That assumption IMHO, is utterly false. If
the average user has a HD crash, they stand to lose data that is
important to them, whether mp3's, family pictures, bootleg porn or last
years tax return, it is all important. You buy Car and Home insurance,
right? Taking half measures on data security on the cop out that it is
merely a home user is doing a dis-service to the user.
