I knew I didn’t need a super fast drive the primary purpose of purchasing a NAS was to archive my photo collection. That’s okay–the internet needs to be flooded with posts about how important backups are.
This seems to be turning into a post about backups. I don’t remember now exactly why I went with Synology, but I don’t have any regrets. I went back and forth for a few years, and finally settled on Synology. Every brand seems to have pros and cons, good reviews and bad reviews–I didn’t know which one to pick. Several years ago I started looking at NAS drives. It made me nervous, but it was the only solution I could afford, (which is crazy–I was spending thousands on cameras and lenses, but didn’t think I could afford to actually protect the irreplaceable photos themselves.) Synology When I first started maintaining backups, they were on external USB drives (Western Digital MyBooks.) That was better than nothing, but didn’t have any redundancy, and wouldn’t have protected my photos if the house burned down. Side note–the Erase Device function in the Find My app works really well. Fast forward to this week–the guy who was my boss back then called to tell me that he had inadvertently wiped his entire laptop with a few erroneous clicks in Apple’s Find My app.
