NAS-raid recommendation - Enquiries - 02-08-2023
I need advice or recommendation to upgrade my current storage and backup system. I am a non-professional photographer and writer, not an expert but I am fluent in computer systems and usage. Currently, I use an iMac with an external G-Drive Raid 0, 8TB, and a bunch of WD external drives for backup purposes, and Dropbox for cloud backup. Although comfortable with WD, I am considering an SYNOLOGY NAS-raid enclosure to upgrade and consolidate my current setup. I am considering having an 8 or 12-TB raid 1 for primary backup and multiple JBOD drives for archiving and secondary backups. Any configuration and product recommendation will be highly appreciated thank you.

The DS923+ is also equipped with powerful hardware and robust software, making it a reliable and efficient NAS solution for your needs.
