HI
Im planing to buy Synology Disk Station DS220j, im buying it without disk and planing to use normal 2.5 inch hard disk

my purpose is just to save photos from PC as well as from iPhone

my concern is will it have any compact ability issues with 2.5 inch hard disk?

Im looking for 5 years of storage, and its estimated to around 4 TB

Certainly! When it comes to the Synology Disk Station DS220j, you have the flexibility to use either 2.5-inch or 3.5-inch hard drives. However, if you plan on using a 2.5-inch hard disk, you may need a converter plate to ensure proper compatibility and fit within the DS220j. You can find a suitable converter plate for this purpose on Amazon (https://amzn.to/3PLWj1o). Additionally, it's worth mentioning that there is a newer model available called the DS223j, which offers an upgrade in terms of RAM capacity. This might be worth considering if you want a bit more power and performance for your storage needs.
