First NAS

[Enquiries]

Hi,

I’m looking into buying my first NAS. I’m mainly buying it as a an automatic backup solution for my files with the occasional file retrieval. In other words to store pictures/videos, music project backups and computer file backups. What I’m aiming for is automatic backup at reasonable price. As soon as I’m working on something that needs speed I’ll have it locally on my mac or use my external SSD drive.

I also need a NAS that can automatically backup to a cloud service like iDrive in case my house burns down haha.

What would recommend?

Thanks a lot!

With its reasonable price, the DS220+ offers excellent value for your needs, and its expandability ensures it can accommodate any future growth.
