Dear Team!
I am a basic home user who used a WD my Cloud (6 TB) to back up my pictures. However, the device died and now I am forced to change my device.
I have been recommended the Synology 723 (by the data recovery shop that is retrieving my data). but feel it could be a bit overkill just to back up my pictures and media (i don't even use Plex).
from the Nas Compares videos I feel Synology may be a good way to go because of the software and ease of use.
I also think a 2 bay would be suitable and I would set it up for mirroring for a backup?
I would be grateful if I could get advice on what would be a good setup as well as what hard drives I should use.
The key is something that will be still suitable in a few years. I don't want something that will be outdated next year.
I would be grateful for your help. thank you
Adam
