NAS, DAS Expert Advice

#1
I discovered your video while searching for NAS recommendations. Initially considering DS923, your recommendation for DS1522 caught my attention. As a first-time NAS user for personal/home use, I currently rely on a LACIE 4TB external hard drive. However, I seek a more future-proof solution to store photos and videos, preserving memories for my daughter. Planning a gradual approach, I aim to start with a 12TB drive and expand later. Currently using iCloud 2TB, I hope the NAS can replace it, saving costs. With increasing file sizes, especially RAW photos and 4K videos, I estimate needing 2-4TB annually. Your expert advice is much appreciated.

Based on your requirements and budget, I'd recommend the Synology DS1522+ for your NAS needs. While the DS923+ is a solid choice, the DS1522+ offers more scalability and future-proofing with its additional drive bays and higher RAM capacity, ensuring smoother performance as your storage needs grow. Starting with a 12TB configuration and the ability to expand later aligns perfectly with your gradual approach. With Synology's robust DSM operating system and versatile applications, you can easily replace your iCloud storage while efficiently managing and organizing your photos and videos. Considering the increasing file sizes of RAW photos and 4K videos, having a NAS with ample storage capacity like the DS1522+ ensures you're well-prepared for future storage demands. You can find the Synology DS1522+ within your budget range, providing excellent value for your investment.
