A freelance developer working from home. Now doing manual backups of:
1. Work and important files to cloud.
2. Full PC backup (compressed) to external SSD every 2 months.
Other files and media: stored in multiple 2.5" external HDDs.
Current media server: using router's USB sharing (DLNA) with 1TB SSD.
My work PC has 4TB SSD and 64GB RAM; on 2.5GbE LAN. Using TPLink Deco BE85. The Deco and PC are in my bedroom.
Undecided whether I should build a Synology NAS. Looking at DS1522+ with 10GbE upgrade. Storage pools: 1 HDD + 1 a SSD.
The NAS will be in my bedroom, serving as: backup repository for work PC, as media and file server. Concerned over potential noise at night, disturbing sleep.
Undecided over HDDs: Seagate Ironwolf (downside: warranty starts from manufactured date, difficult customer service) vs WD Red (WDDA flagging drives as Warning after 3 years) vs Synology.
