Hi, I am a complete novice on NAS drives & Cloud facilities. I have a Mac Mini 1TB of storage ( its nowhere near maxed out), I have an iPad & iPhone. I use a Maxtor external drive 500MB as a back up to the Mac mini but its getting quite old. I live alone, no other users.
I would like something that has a least two drives, so one backs it up reducing possibility of loss of data. I want to be able to use Time Machine (if there anything better please advise) and i want to be able to easily connect to my iPad & iPhone to change around my music and photos.
I am considering Synology as I have a friend who swears by their easiness of use. What would be the “best bang for my buck” NAS drive?
Many thanks for your advice. Watched a few Youtube videos but probably made myself even more confused. I hope you dont mind this suggestion but can you do a video series of ‘idiots guides ‘ because as a novice all these different technical terms, are way beyond my understanding at this stage ?
