First 'real' NAS? - Enquiries - 10-15-2024
I've been doing a *lot* of reading and watching, but not certain I've figured it out, thus the request.
I need to migrate away from a WD My Cloud 3Tb, 1 disk device. Not sure if it's gonna die, but *know* it's not an if it dies, but when. Currently ~50% full at the moment. Have offline storage of 4Tb as well.
Considering something like a QNAP TS-264 with 16GB memory, 2TB of M.2 storage and 12 - 16TB HDD storage. Primary use case is cloud storage (move away from Google Cloud, if practical) but have my own cloud capability for personal video, audio & photo storage.
It'd be nice to have it accessible remotely, and realize I may need to improve networking on my side (VPN, etc.) for that to happen as I go deeper into this.
Any alternates that I should strongly consider? Thanks!
