Hello! I'm Pau!
My father and I are in the process of purchasing our first NAS, but we still have a few uncertainties about which model to choose.
As "semi-professional photographers," our primary goal is to use the NAS to store and manage our RAW files, and edit them through Lightroom. We also want the ability to access and work on our files remotely. This is our main focus right now, but we’re aware of the many other features a NAS offers, and once we get this set up, we’d love to explore other options like Synology Photos.
We’re leaning towards a Synology NAS because of its user-friendly interface, but we’re debating between the DS923+ and DS1522+ models. We’ve also heard about some promised updates—should we wait for those, or would it be better to go ahead with one of these models now?
For storage, we plan to start with two 10TB or 12TB HDDs, using one for redundancy. As our storage needs grow, we’ll add more drives.
What do you think? Which NAS would you recommend for our use case?
Thank you in advance!
