Thanksgiving is the time of year when HDD go on real sales..... If you are going to get a NAS, get the biggest NAS marketed HDD you can afford.? 16TB is the current sweet spot.? ($$$ per TB) The Seagate EXOS series are currently the most modern and cheapest. The WD RED and Seagate Ironwolf series include post mortem data retrieval, for which you pay dearly..... at time of purchase. Perter is right, it takes a while to get them working the way you want, especially since the while field of IT and especially NAS systems is a bit of a nerdy trip. But it is pretty easy to get them working.... about as hard as a DIY USB configuration But I have found that Synology has lots of you tube and other videos and articles to help us mere mortals..... or. if you are fearful of getting stuck in a IT nightmare, get a big external USB Drive (12- 16TB is available) and live with it.... it will work.
