Which NAS to use? - Enquiries - 02-28-2020
Hello,
I like the synology NAS systems for their ability to RAID storage and access virtually. But what I'm hesitant about is that the disks are only usable within the NAS system; not separately. Is there any NAS system out there that is similar to the Synology systems but where the individual disks can also be used independent from the system? Like a hybrid of NAS and a standard external hard drive. OR, are there standard hard drives out there that can be used in an NAS system? My goal is to set up a RAID system that offers the accessibility of a Synology system but also allows you to take a hard drive with you to plug directly into when needed. For times that you need your data but are not in an area with internet.

The closest solution to an exchangeable hard drive will be Asustor archive option.You can find out more about this herehttps://www.asustor.com/online/College_topic?topic=255https://www.asustor.com/admv2?lan=eng&type=2&subject=9&sub=75#contentJust another Asustor will be required in a remote location to connect this disk.I hope this helps.
