NAS Upgrade - Enquiries - 06-01-2023
Dear Robbie and Eddie,
thank you so much for offering this service, I really appreciate that.
Concerning my NAS dilemma, my situation looks like this, right now I own a WD MyCloud Ultra Ex2 (2-bay NAS), with 4TB of HDD storage. I used it mainly as a Plex Multimedia station and Apple Time Machine but since I am sick of paying iCloud Storage for all of my photos and mobile device backups, I consider switching to a upgraded NAS since the WD MyCloud speed is just around 30mb/s which isn't that fast because Backups of my iPad are around 100GB. I heard about the Synology DS220+ and saw your YouTube video but I wanted to ask whether this NAS should bring up better upload speeds via LAN when backing up all of my devices, whether there is an option to directly backup iPhone and iPad without the need of an iMac in between and whether this device would handle plex and fit my needs, maybe you would recommend another device, Thank You very much in advance
