Good Day Sir.
I own a small wedding videography business. I currently own 5 WD 18TB Ext. HDDs for backup and multiple LaCie HDDs (3 copies). I came across NAS and thought of buying one.
Intended use of NAS:
1. I want it to be my backup solution and I thought of RAID10 so that I will have 2 copies of my data. 3rd copy will be stored on ext hdd.
2. Initially I will add 4 drives as required for RAID10, then I will add more later as my budget grows. My question here is, is it possible to add HDDs without loosing data in RAID10?
3. Should I buy now with Thunderbolt 4, so that transfer rates between my NAS and my PC would be fast.
I have limited knowledge of computer hardware and would really appreciate your suggestion. At first I was thinking about DAS however, didn't get much of information about it. I would consider DAS but I found it with NAS I can share data with my clients without uploading to cloud service.
Looking forward for your reply.
Thank you
