First NAS

[Enquiries]

I have a 3TB HDD full of photos and videos and I have another 3TB drive as backup. You can probably guess the rest. My HDD failed and when I checked the backup HDD, it had also failed. I'm hoping:
1. I can retrieve the data from the failed HDD's
2. I want to ensure it doesn't happen to me again.
I've got all of my business files on Google Drive and would like to have a local copy. If I can have a system where I can ditch Google Drive, or just get by with their free plan, that would be a bonus. There's about 80GB of data on Google Drive and my business has been running for 3 years. Ideally, I want it to be pretty user-friendly. Right now, we have 7 devices with a mix of Mac and PC. Suggestions please?
