Can you help me with my storage and direct attached situation.

Brief history: I'm a freelance photo videographer graphic designer and going to do some you tube.

Also a Data horder as 50yr old and had many images and graphics from past jobs. Years gone bye. Yes I need to weed it all out.

Plus all my home family imagery plus movies I ripped years ago I have which we use to use Apple TV to watch Until Streaming was invented.

Ive had Drobos ( had 5d, 5D3 and and 8d and (5d3 stopped working).

Thank you for your kind words, Jen!

Based on your needs and requirements, the Synology DS1819+ would be an excellent choice for your new storage solution. It's a powerful NAS device that can support up to 8 hard drives, which can be configured in various RAID configurations for data protection and redundancy.

The DS1819+ also has a built-in 10GbE network adapter, which would be beneficial for transferring large files quickly and efficiently to and from your Ultra Mac Studio. This would be especially useful for your work as a photo and video editor, where large file sizes are common.

Additionally, Synology has an excellent reputation for providing user-friendly software and excellent support for their devices. Their DiskStation Manager (DSM) operating system is straightforward to use and offers a wide range of features and applications that can enhance your productivity and data management.

Overall, the Synology DS1819+ (or newer ds1821+) would be an excellent investment for your storage needs as a freelance photo videographer and graphic designer. It's powerful, flexible, and user-friendly, making it an ideal solution for managing your vast collection of data.
