QNAP - Multiple Thin volumes vs. Single Thick volume with Multiple folders - Enquiries - 12-21-2022
I'm new to NAS
I bought a single-bay QNAP NAS to backup all my cloud services. Google Drive, Dropbox, and One Drive.
Should I create 3 Thin volumes, one for each cloud service, or one Thick volume with 3 folders inside?
Thank you

Thin volumes are only used in business environments where it is unknown what capacity each department will need.
In your case, create a single thick volume for everything.
I hope this helps.
