Hi
I’m considering replacing my aging Synology 2bay with a DS923+, 3 Samsung 870 QVO 2TB Sata SSDs, 1 Hat3300-4T or 6T ( or equivalent), the SSD’s in Raid configuration, the HardDrive for local backups of the SSD’s and extra temporary workspace if required. I don’t have a huge data volume, but it is slowly growing. The NAS is providing Time Machine and Windows backups plus shared family storage of music, photos and some file storage.
I’m attracted to using SSD’s in the NAS for the quiet operation, so may not opt for the HardDrive in the 4th bay.
I’ll keep the old NAS for HyperBackups of the new NAS in the short term.
Q? Is it sensible to buy now?
Q? Is the proposed config any good?
Q? Are there any alternatives that can offer similar functionality to Synology, particularly Cloud Station file sync between the NAS, my Mac and partners PC?
Many thanks
Neil
