What NAS should I get - Enquiries - 02-12-2023
I have WD home cloud and i want to upgrade to a Nas that mainly to store and organise my personal photos.
My wife and I will have access to it and we need to be able to retrieve the photos remotely and quickly on demand.
I liked the features synology photos offers but I don't know how well are they compared to other brands.
Whats the best option do you recommend?

Based on your needs, I would recommend the Synology DS220+ over the DS218play. Here's why:
The Synology DS220+ is a more powerful NAS than the DS218play, and it is better suited for storing and organizing personal photos. The DS220+ comes with Synology Photos, a powerful photo management solution that makes it easy to organize and share your photos. With Synology Photos, you can easily categorize your photos by date, location, people, and more, and you can access them from anywhere using Synology's mobile app or web interface.
In addition, the DS220+ has a more advanced CPU and more RAM than the DS218play, which means it can handle more tasks and users at the same time. This is especially important if you need to retrieve photos remotely and quickly on demand.
The DS220+ also offers a range of other features that would be useful for storing personal photos, such as hardware-accelerated transcoding for streaming media to different devices, and the ability to set up automatic backups to protect your photos against data loss.
Overall, I would recommend the Synology DS220+ for your needs. It is a powerful and versatile NAS that is well-suited for storing and organizing personal photos, and it offers a great set of features and performance at an affordable price point.
