[QUOTE="etheesdad, post: 472292, member: 84335"] Can anyone tell me about pros and cons of using a NAS box as opposed to a server in terms of security? If I ran a linux server on the network would that be more secure than NAS box, or do security flaws in windows machines attached to the network (accessing the device) make the proposition equivalent? I dont know much about PC security and I want to store all my important stuff *off* my main PC- Could anyone contribute ideas on the most secure option (without spending a bucketload of cash)? ideas: 1. nas box connected via lan to router, accessible by windows machines 2. server running linux (- is there a safe windows option?*), connected via lan to router, accessible by windows machines 3. --- looking for more info... any help appreciated if theres a better way to do this *(is a windows server OS the most secure option compared to other flavours of windoze)?
