Thank you for your kind words, Jen!
Based on your needs and requirements, the Synology DS1819+ would be an excellent choice for your new storage solution. It's a powerful NAS device that can support up to 8 hard drives, which can be configured in various RAID configurations for data protection and redundancy.
The DS1819+ also has a built-in 10GbE network adapter, which would be beneficial for transferring large files quickly and efficiently to and from your Ultra Mac Studio. This would be especially useful for your work as a photo and video editor, where large file sizes are common.
Additionally, Synology has an excellent reputation for providing user-friendly software and excellent support for their devices. Their DiskStation Manager (DSM) operating system is straightforward to use and offers a wide range of features and applications that can enhance your productivity and data management.
Overall, the Synology DS1819+ (or newer ds1821+) would be an excellent investment for your storage needs as a freelance photo videographer and graphic designer. It's powerful, flexible, and user-friendly, making it an ideal solution for managing your vast collection of data.
