So I have Macs. My iCloud is full and they want nearly 10 quid a month for 2 TB. Nope. Time to get rid of the flimsy WD my Cloud for Time Machine and upgrade to a NAS. I need one with sone power to handle a large amount of photos jpg/raw Time Machine for a local laptop and keep things in sync across three Apple devices. BTW love the site but my head hurts Synology seem to have very similar devices and some with built in graphics on intel and other no so HELP! Cheers Andrew
Certainly, the Synology DS423+ would be an excellent choice for your requirements. This NAS model is equipped with a Celeron quad-core CPU and features a built-in transcoding chip, making it ideal for handling large amounts of photos, including both JPEG and RAW formats. It also provides ample power to serve as a Time Machine for your local laptop, allowing you to easily backup and sync data across your three Apple devices.
The DS423+ offers the flexibility to upgrade RAM and add an NVMe cache, enabling enhanced performance and responsiveness. Additionally, Synology's user-friendly interface makes it straightforward to set up and manage the NAS, providing a seamless experience for Mac users.
