Which Nas?

[Enquiries]

Hey,

Been watching your videos on youtube. They have been very helpful to figure out which NAS I need.

I have 2 libraries of photos, one personal, one an archive of photos from 1950 to 1990. These need to remain separate so that I can use the AI recognition function for object or facial recognition. Its important to me to be able to search by faces for example, of me on one library, and on the photo archive, be able to do research by finding the same person in multiple photos across multiple years.
Also, I need a way to add/edit metadata on the photos. The archive is all scanned and will need to have metadata added to the albums manually (for example, date, location, names of people in photo etc).

We have also digitized hundreds of reel to reel (audio) and VHS video recordings and want manage files and the meta data accordingly. Is there an app like Itunes to organize them?

We hope to be able to share these files once they are organized.

Thanks again!

Thank you for tuning into our YouTube channel for guidance on choosing the right NAS for your needs. Based on your specific requirements, including organizing photo libraries, AI recognition, metadata editing, and managing digitized audio and video recordings, I recommend considering the Synology DS923+ from the Plus series. This NAS offers a powerful AMD Ryzen processor and 4GB of DDR4 ECC RAM, making it suitable for both home and light business use.

For your photo libraries, Synology's DSM software provides applications like Photos for AI recognition and third party photo apps for metadata management. You can keep your personal and archive photos separate and easily search for faces or objects.

Regarding your audio and video recordings, the DS923+ supports applications like Audio Station and Video Station for organizing and categorizing your media content, similar to iTunes.

Moreover, the DS923+ provides a robust platform for sharing your organized files with friends and colleagues. Its hardware and software capabilities make it a strong choice for your current needs and ensure it will serve you well in the years to come.
