Is this your slick way to see if your startup idea is worth something? :)
Problem: I do care about my home media which is wiped out if my HDD crashes and of course I'm not able to access them in all my devices.
Proposed solutions:
1) I'm willing to pay a monthly fee only if it is a cloud storage which can be accessed on all devices. I'm not going to pay a monthly fee if am going to store my media in my own HDD and all you provide is a service to access them.
2) One time payment for an app that lets me access my media across all platforms iPhone, android, iPad (esp), mac, windows, PS3, Xbox etc.
There 2 problems here, reliable storage and cross platform accessibility. I think you are suggesting 2 HDDs raided for reliability, which is probably the cheapest solution.
Hah, I need to figure out my own working solution before I claim to solve others'.
1) yes
2) yes
Now where's the company that does that for me?
2 2 TB HDD RAID is probably what I'm looking at right now, with some kind of unlimited cloud backup service just backing up the whole thing, and some way to transfer media easily to the hard drives
