Hi, I am new to the NAS world and not a tech-savy guy...
I am looking for a safe solution to store a time machine back-up (2 TB) a growing Lightroom catalog and original pictures (~1 TB), one small laptop (500gb).
I was thinking about something like a drobo because of its ease of use (expansion, various drives sizes etc) but saw reviews about limited performance and reliability. Sinology DS218+ seemed another option but the poor customer service and limited assistance are not reassuring as I am not an expert (by far).
What could be the best cheap option for me without sacrificing size expansion and simplicity? I know there is no perfect solution
Thanks!
Olivier
