Advice requested! Looking for a simple, affordable, two disk (mirrored) NAS.
main use:
-network file share there via our laptops (Windows, Linux). Just basic drag & drop is fine. Preferably without dedicated software.
-serve media (via our AndroidTV box).
nice to have:
-access to music (.mp3 .flac) on phones (iOs) while outside our own network.
-outside access to files.
User level: am not an idiot but value my time and our money. Am happy with basic products.
Ok. Rådene her har overbevist os om at købe en Synology NAS! Tak!
Nu... er HDD med leveringstider denne måned (i stedet for 2027...) ekstremt dyre lige nu. Har du nogle tips til et "anstændigt" prissat Seagate eller WD 3 til 6TB HDD (i Danmark)?
English: We'll buy a Synology NAS. Thanks for the advice!
I just learned even small (4 to 6TB) NAS drives are difficult to find*, let alone at any price resembling sanity.
Any tips for a somewhat affordable 3, 4 or 6TB NAS HDD (Seagate or WD red) deliverable to Denmark are much appreciated.
*with stores casually mentioning delivery windows in 2027..
And the Synology NAS arrived! It's an excellent looking box and now has one disk in it (and will probably get two once prices go down). As seen on the photo it found a place in our datacenter.
We went for a "demo" one and apart of missing two tiny screws it appears as new. Glad we did (the hdd is new).
Again thanks for advice :-)
edit: yes, I am indeed proud of my excellent cable management.
Oh great. I'm using the Synology Photos app to manage and do backups from my iPhone. The NAS now stores over 4000 .HEIC photos as a long time ago *someone* forgot to change that ios setting. Suuuuper practical.
/me is off to find an easy way to do a batch conversion of .heic to .jpg.
