First NAS

[Enquiries]

I have approx 1500 DVDs, and I am looking to transfer these onto a home server and access them as described in your videos. I don't know where to begin; if I hazard to guess, then I end up going through the typical engineering rabbit hole of paralysis through analysis syndrome or making one of the eight mistakes. I have watched many of your videos and read many of your online documents. Thank you so much for all of your effort in making the videos and online content, it was a help, but that paralysis is creeping in.

Mostly the system will be for the DVDs and movie/show content. I have a few computers and would like them to share files and backups.

Again, many thanks for your time.

Based on your needs, I would recommend a Synology DS423+ NAS. It has enough power and storage capacity to handle your DVD collection and other media content, as well as file sharing and backups for your computers.

You can set up the DS423+ with a RAID configuration, such as RAID 5 or RAID 6, to provide redundancy in case of a hard drive failure. Synology also has a great user interface and easy-to-use software that makes setting up the NAS and transferring your DVD collection a breeze.

As for the engineering paralysis, I suggest starting with a clear plan of what you want to achieve and breaking down the steps into manageable tasks. Take it one step at a time and don't be afraid to ask for help or advice when needed. Good luck with your setup and enjoy your media collection!
