I have collected quite a bit of storage from sites I have subscribed too . Had a crash a few years ago and lost all the stuff I collected , and don't want that again . Semi-tech savvy (when i turn the computer off and on at work , I feel like Daddy Pig "I'm rather an expert at this sort of thing""). Need a good storage back up , wireless accessible , with the ability to play back videos and stream nicely . Would also want to password protect it as well . Any good systems ?

Get an external hard drive with NAS capability, plug it into your router.

Western Digital just released a wireless version of their My Passport drive
called the My Passport Wireless (max 2TB) and they have My Passport Wireless Pro (max 3TB)

Both also have USB3.0 ports. Keep in mind they simply added wifi interface for My Passport
drive so it may be cheaper to go with the older wired version. Also the passport was meant
as a portable option. May be better off (i.e. cheaper option) to just build a NAS using old
PC and some hard drives.

The My Passport looks pretty good , will have to research it . Cannot plug backup directly to router , that's exposed in the bedroom . Looking to put back-up in the master closet where I store everything , and its safely away .
