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

I could have written this exact post myself yesterday before deciding on ordering a new DS925+ and the Synology +8GB ECC expansion RAM and (2) WD RED Plus 10TB drives (to start). I kept thinking…I could save money with a UGREEN…I can figure out how to lock it down…I can ignore, and not think every d

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

The overall best two Synology models to consider that are 4 bay and decently priced, with good overall options, would be the DS925+ and the DS923+.

You're asking about a NAS but proceed to list your target device being a QNAP DAS. These are two different things, bud. Pay attention to the details...

I would try an inexpensive Synology device, like a DS925+, filled with a 2 NVME disks and 10GBe interface, and see if that meets expectations. You could also add 4 SATA SSDs to the mix. Another choice might be a purpose made flash device, like the https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1773205-REG/a

ask him to use vectors to store copies not renders then use high compression solutions like ARC or RAR to compress and save for each TB of storage that's how you can reduce each TB by 30% overall saving upto 30TB of storage while keeping everything if you think he needs 100TB use NAS storage by Syno

So would you wanna/need to tinker by building your own nas system (for example unraid) or rather have a ready piece of hardware like a Synology nas? You can start smallish with a 4 bay unit, so still be able to add additional drives as you go along (for synology choose the flexible shr1 raid). And i

Get yourself either a 2-bay Synology DS225+ or a UGreen DXP2800, and forget about changing the OS idea. And if your budget allows it, consider the 4-bay boxes like the DS925+ or the DXP4800. The extra bays allow you to expand your storage later. The choice between these brands hinges on whether you
