This data primarily consists of home videos taken with a Sony HD camcorder and a Nikon DSLR camera as well as pictures and videos taken from various smart phones over the last twelve years. This is personally valuable data that I want to protect, preserve, and have easy access to at home. Traditionally, I have kept these files on a computer and used an external hard drive as backup. This got the job done, but left something to be desired. It was a chore to remember to periodically get the backup out, and copy recent data. Sometimes, I’d forget to do this for a whole year. And playing the videos on a TV was typically more trouble than one would hope—having to get an HDMI cable out, hooking up a laptop to the TV, and navigating through each video file from the laptop.
