QNAP 653D
2 x 4TB HDDs for general data, shared folders, mp3, video, photo surveillance with 4 x motion detection cameras
1 x 1TB SSD for VMs
1 x 500GB SSD for QTS OS (some suggest QTS saved across all drives so this irrelevant)
Two main users, limited creative content generated, occasional cad drgs
I want to use VM to access Autocad drawings currently on an old windows XP PC
This PC is not connected to the internet. I want to access the content and legacy XP programs
Can I create an image of this PC copy to the NAS to allow access with XP VM
4 others will use for additional storage photos, videos, backup
Raid not needed, I will not create enough changing content to warrant. A regular backup would suffice with separate external HDD
Raid not needed for surveillance, probability of failure at exact time some crucial footage is recorded would be miniscule
Can you please advise best storage set up
