Legacy NAS's, failing HDD's, and time for upgrade?

#1
Hi Gents! I have a Synology DS212J (2012) and doing rsync/hyper backup jobs to a QNAP TS-231 (2015). Running an SHR volume in the DS212J with two 3TB drives. QNAP, been running each disk as separate volumes, each receiving a Hyperbackup rsync weekly, and then a multi-version backup as well nightly. I keep the TS-241 in other location in house and pop out one of the drives to keep off site and rotate them periodically. Mostly family photos/videos, family documents like financial/medical. I have also been considering cloud backup for an easier off-site backup. Synology C2 might be the easiest thing and cost about the same as Backblaze for 2TB storage, with backups approaching 2.5TB. 1 drive failed on QNAP, and 1 drive getting read errors now in Synology, seems like time to consider upgrade, to take advantage of snapshot replication/ransomware protection. Looking at ds923/5+ ds423/5+. Would like to backup kids PCs as get to college, iphone photo backup, and do Synology photos. Thoughts?
