Hey, I'm currently using the Drobo 5Dt and 5C and I need to switch to another storage provider.
I'm a photographer. I use Apple computers. I don't need access to all the files in storage all the time, I just need to have access to any files as/when I need to.
I have a few q's;
- What is the best upgrade from my current Drobo 5Dt and 5C? I care about speed, and don't necessarily need a NAS unit.
- Would you recommend a NAS unit even if I don't need access to all my files all the time...? I don't have a very good Internet connection.
- If I do get a NAS unit, can I use it just as a backup without connecting it to a network? With the idea of being able to connect to a network sometime in the future.
- I'm currently using Seagate BarraCuda Pro 3.5" hard rives, these are not NAS drives, can I use them in a Synology NAS housing?
Thanks
