Selecting my first NAS for the following:
1. Regular safe backup for my data (~2-3 TB now but steadily increasing). Mostly photos plus various personal files and documents that I would regret losing (the latter don't take as much space)
2. Good software for managing & sorting photos would be a strong plus. I am an enthusiast photographer, have plenty of photos and constant backlog in processing them
3. Easy iPhone photos offload to NAS so that I don't need to clean the phone's storage manually often. Ideally with support of iPhone's "live photos" (nice to have, not must have)
4. Ability to access my music remotely and listen to it on iPhone everywhere
Security & protection of my data from hackers is important. I am not a tech geek, so my NAS should be easy to set up and have an intuitive user-friendly interface. Speed of NAS seems to be of low priority as I won't use it for videos or gaming.
