Hi. Need advice on which NAS to get for my home. Main purpose is for backups for my 3xWindows Laptops, 1xiMac, 1x iPad, 5xAndroid devices.
Thinking to hook the NAS to my TP-Link Deco M9 Pro Mesh with an ethernet cable.
Would also hope the NAS can be a cloud-like solution to replace MS Onedrive, Google Drive and Google Photos.
Initial plan is to do a 4-bay Raid 5 config.
Which Qnap or Synology model should I consider? Budget is important over features.
Last thing, do I need NAS grade drives like IronWolfs or normal Barracudas are sufficient?
Thanks a million!
