Upgrade or reconfigure? - Enquiries - 07-11-2022
Hello,
I am looking for a better solution for managing my music, movies, video, and pictures. I currently have about 15,000 photos, 4000 songs, and 200 movies and 1000 videos (iphone videos). This is somewhere in the neighborhood of 700 GBs. I'm not sure if I need a new setup or just a change in my current setup for what I need.
My goal:
-Quickly be able to view and sort photos and videos into a folder structure (need fast thumbnail viewing and drag/drop to folders) current setup is very slow at loading thumbnails when mounted
-setup a scheduled backup of data on a separate drive
-access files remotely on mobile device or laptop (doesn't have to be a mounted drive when remote, web is fine)
Bonus:
-view/access photos and movies from local devices like a ROKU player
Current Setup:
-Google Nest Mesh WiFi Router
-Synology 2 bay NAS DiskStation DS218j
-WD Red 1TB NAS Hard Drive - 5400 RPM Class, SATA 6 Gb/s, 64 MB Cache, 3.5" - WD10EFRX
-WD Caviar Green 2 TB Desktop Hard Drive WD20EARS
RED is MAIN NAS and the GREEN is Synology Hybrid Raid
