Hi Rob,
I'm looking for a good Synology NAS. My main interest is in photo editing and file protection (backup). I'm mainly looking for a Synolgy 4 bays.
At the moment, I use Lightroom Classic to edit images. My Lr catalogues are on an iMac M1 and the photo files are on a Synology DS220j NAS (2-4GB HDD) connected to the iMac by an Ethernet cable. It's not very fast for image processing!
Which Synology NAS would best meet my editing and backup needs?
Is there a better way of connecting to the NAS than RJ-45, for working, while retaining the redundancy (RAID) that a NAS provides? I'm thinking of the USB-3 port... If so, how does that work?
Thanks for your work and your always good advice!
Have a nice day,
Michel
