DiskStation DS925+

I suggest you reach out to an IT company that can help you set this up, but at a minimum a DIY solution needs to be a NAS with a second NAS or cloud storage as backup (the latter of course will get very expensive) I genuinely recommend a 4 bay Synology like a DS925+ kitted out with 4 24-30TB drives

It all depends on what you are wanting to do. While there are a lot of people that have shunned Synology, it is still a solid ecosystem and very reliable/stable. My DS1019 has been running steady since I got it. I'm also considering getting another Synology to keep the ecosystem and demote the 1019

I would say choose between the Synology and UGREEN NAS. As an overview.. If you're looking for a mature OS, Synology has that. Synology also has important apps like a surveillance app (Surveillance Station) and a backup app (Hyper Backup). The hardware for Synology is usually old and not very powerf

I just finished setting up my NAS as well for similar use cases as yours. Did a ton of research and second guessing, but here’s where I ended up: Get a 4 bay NAS. It just gives you so much flexibility for your setup and future. I got the DS925+. Was planing to get DS923+ but after Synology walked ba

I just went through this myself... I've been a Synology user for 5 years now ish. Completely removed myself and my family from google photos, icloud, facebook, amazon photos lol... just cleaned it all off and turned off all the subscriptions. Moved to Synology and then when the DS925+ came out I mov

I've set up NAS boxes for a lot of people over the years, so here's what I'd recommend: If you're on a tight budget (~$300):UGREEN DH4300 Plus. Yeah, it's ARM, but hear me out—I was skeptical too until I deployed like a dozen Docker containers on it. Thing runs surprisingly stable. Way better than t

As an aside to your comment about Synology being "overpriced"... A DS925+ is $640. A UNAS Pro 4 is $500. I'd argue that the Synology brings a hell of a lot to the table for that extra $140 that the UNAS does not. The only thing the UNAS has that the Syno does not is the 10GB ports.

I am happily using it :) Even my absolutely not tech savvy GF likes the features and is using it surprisingly frequently. My setup - Synology ds925+ which backups everything with the "synology Pictures" app. That folder is implemented as external source into Immich. Remote connection done via wiregu

Lots of good opinions here, and here's mine from someone who's been doing network storage for over 2 decades. Get yourself a NAS with an x64 based CPU. Avoid ARM based devices.I recommend Synology for their mature software advantage, which will be less of a hassle for user access, data sharing, and

Stabile Antwort, die ist gespeichert. Mich macht ein bisschen fertig, dass noch keiner auf den Gedanken gekommen ist, den Drucker einfach über das NAS zu verwenden anstatt mit USB-Kabel rumzulaufen. Gibt es deinerseits eine Empfehlung zur Synology? Wenn ich wählen könnte, würde ich mich für die DS92
