Home NAS for life?

#1
It has been a while since I wanted to get a NAS to store all the information I accumulate during my life. Now I'm using an old TimeCapsule of 2TB and normal hard drive. I have around 7 to 10 Tb of photos videos and info to save and I was looking for a long term NAS. I was thinking to get a DS1621+ or DS1821+ Synology (for easy of use) worried only by if one day, they get hacked or i get all my info locked. Any news about a future DS1624+ or DS1524+ with better processor or any AI features?

When it comes to securing your precious digital memories for a lifetime, you've got some solid options to consider. If you're dealing with 4K media and you need remote access, the DS224+ can certainly handle that. It's perfect for multimedia tasks and remote access, making it an excellent choice for safeguarding your digital life. However, since it's a 4-bay model, you may also want to consider an additional NAS unit to handle your other data. Linking them together can provide you with more storage capacity and flexibility.

On the other hand, if you're focusing on local access and want a future-proof solution, those 6 or 8-bay Ryzen-based NAS models you mentioned are fantastic choices. They not only serve as excellent storage solutions but are also ideal for running virtual machines and Docker containers, which adds versatility to your setup.

To address your concerns about data security, Synology NAS units come with robust security features, including protected snapshots to safeguard your data against ransomware threats. However, it's essential to consider potential disasters like fire or flooding that could affect your physical NAS devices. For added safety, consider remote backups or off-site storage solutions to ensure your data's long-term security.
