Hi Rob,
QNAP sound like the system for me.
Looking for 2 x 2TB (mirror) just network drive
SSD? For €500? Hmm. Just checked and 1x2TB is €250...
Query /envisaged NAS use:
MAC Time Machine backup (over SMB?)
Windows pc backup - straight forward
NAS for all photos and accessed by mac/pc/android/iphone
2 home users
10 family members around the world with some folder access
Android and iphone to backup / transfer photos to NAS
Android/iphone to access NAS over Internet
As I have today, selected folders are synced to cloud so same data can be accessed from multi devices.
VERY IMPORTANT
For photos I want to physically backup onto M-Disk. NAS software that "knows" what are new photos and gets them ready for the next M-Disk backup (M-Disk is 100Gb)
Appreciate your support. If there are affiliated links for QNAP and Seagate ironwolf RED would be grand.
P.s. if near the same budget (I could add a few hundred) for 2× 2TB SSD. Worth it in terms of performance?
My Apple Time Capsule 500Gb HDD is a little sluggish when accessing doc folders. 30 sec for drive to wake up, spool up, secure connection, read data, send folder structure etc. Maybe it is just old.
Thanks again,
Donovan
