I do photography/ videography and am in the search for a backup solution.
For photography, I work off an external 1TB SSD (photo library + Lightroom catalogs) which I back up to Google Drive. For videography, I work off an external 2TB SSD which I back up to an external 5TB HDD (WD Passport Ultra).
I work off external SSDs because I frequently switch between a Windows computer and MacBook.
In the past, I used a QNAP TS-231P2. What I didn’t like about it:
- No native exFat support. Driver needs to be purchased.
- LAN transfer speeds could be faster (uploading files via the USB-ports on the NAS is way faster).
- Takes a long time to clone the drive.
- It’s loud.
What would you recommend if I only need something for backup? I don’t plan on working off the NAS or using it as remote storage.
- better/ newer NAS
- external HDD enclosure (e.g. UGREEN USB 3.0 SATA Harddisk Case)
- something completly different
Disk space needs to be at least 10TB.
Big thanks!
