Please help me out i NEED HELP WITH DECIDING MY UGREEN NAS

#2
Given your requirements and preferences, the UGREEN NXP6800 seems like a suitable option for your home network storage needs. Here's a breakdown of considerations to help you decide:

Number of Bays: Since you feel that 8 bays might be too large for your needs, the 6-bay NXP6800 would likely suffice. It provides ample storage capacity while being more compact than the 8-bay model.
RAID Configuration: Considering that you'll be using the NAS for family storage, device backups, and storing RAW photography files, a RAID configuration that balances data protection, capacity, and performance would be ideal. RAID 5 or RAID 6 would offer a good balance of performance and redundancy for your setup. RAID 5 provides good capacity utilization and fault tolerance, while RAID 6 offers an additional layer of redundancy at the cost of some capacity.
Storage Capacity (HDD): With a total storage requirement of 25TB and considering RAID redundancy, you'll need to factor in additional capacity for parity data. For example, with RAID 5, you'll lose the capacity of one drive for parity, so you'd need at least 30TB of raw storage capacity. Therefore, you might consider starting with 6x 6TB or 8TB drives, depending on your budget and future expansion plans.
By opting for the NXP6800 with a suitable RAID configuration and storage capacity, you'll have a robust and scalable solution for your home storage and backup needs.
