Hi, my Photography Businesses current storage Solution is a 5 Bay Terramaster USBC DAS that is quickly reaching the end of its capacity (16TB).
I'm looking to make a sizeable and future-proof update to this, but have been struggling to wrap my head around all the options I have.
I initially wanted to go for a NAS like the Synology 1621+ but that would also entail upgrading it and my office to 10GBE to really make good use of it.
Since I'm a 1-Man business, the benefits of a NAS are kind of unneeded for me. It would be nice to have remote access to the files on there, but that's mostly it.
A DAS seems like the much more straightforward solution, plus I could keep my backblaze backup system like it currently is.
I just struggle to find a fitting DAS solution and they all are seemingly much pricier than a comparable NAS which I'm struggling to understand.
Is there a suitable NAS solution that I may be missing?
Any help would be super appreciated, thank you so much!
