Hello
I Looking to purchase my first NAS system mainly for Photography, storing and browsing RAW & Process Jpeg files.
I have a MacBook Pro M1 1TB o and store everything on Icoud in just one year the iCloud has taken up over half my available storage space.
I am exploring Synology DS420j 4 Bay Desktop NAS and initially populating it with 2 x Seagate IronWolf Pro 4TB NAS Hard Drive 3.5" 7200RPM 256MB Cache. With the intent of being able to save up for 2 larger drives at a later stage.
I have seen on your videos that NAS drives are often loud.
I have recently purchased TP-Link TL-PA7027P KIT AV1000 2-Port Gigabit Passthrough Powerline Starter Kit, Data Transfer Speed Up to 1000 Mbps, I ahve one plugged into my router and the other in the upstairs office (box room) would the NAS be best placed up in office connected via LAN cable to the Passthrough Powerline ?
Would this set up future proof me for quite a while?
Thanks in advance
Alex
