Everyone Should have a NAS - How I backup everything - The Synology DS1522+ is how I have been keeping all of the files on my Mac for KZfaq video backed up and in sync at the office and at home. The Synology DiskStation DS1522+ allows me to seamlessly have folders backed up from multiple locations at once without thinking about. You can also access the Synology Disputation from anywhere using iPhone, iPad, Mac Windows or anything that connects to the internet.
In this video I unbox the DS1522+ Synology DiskStation, set it up and show you how I keep all important video files backed up from multiple locations using a Mac Studio, 14-inch MacBook Pro and 16-inch MacBook Pro.

Next time that you setup a synology nas, use SHR1 or SHR2 that is like raid5 and raid6. With their shr , you can upgrade 2 drives and your array and your storage will expand. With your raid 5 setup, you will need to upgrade all your drive to expand your storage.

My favoirte thing about a NAS is that it's still a "regular" old server. It can do so much more than store data. For instance, my NAS downloads and seeds all my torrents and hosts Pi-Hole on my network. I have many more projects and plans to research as well. I agree with the title. Everyone should have a NAS. :)

If you lose the Synology you lose all your backups. I back up to local drives - a local bootable clone drive and a local Time Machine as well as a remote NAS Time Machine on a Synology NAS. My daily driver - a 2020 iMac 5K - has a Drobo 8D disk array and backs up to Thunderbolt drives with a bootable clone, a Time Machine, and a Synology Time Machine. The 8D backs up to the same Synology (50 TB worth) and the iMac's boot drive and 8D back up to a remote BackBlaze (which would still be there if my house burned down). My other machines - a 2021 MacBook Pro and the family's 2017 iMac 5K just back up to local drives and the NAS as described above as they contain no mission critical data. Drobo has for the most part gone out of business, so when the 8D fails I'll probably replace it with a 8 Bay locally connected Synology with my main driver connected to the Synology in my office connected to a 10 gb switch, hooked up to one of the LAN ports of my Wifi mesh office satellite. It'll take a while to restore from the family room Synology which is connected to the main router, though I could install a 10 gb ethernet port and bring it upstairs and hook it in to the 10 gb switch to restore much more quickly. Once both arrays are on Synology NAS, backing up will be much less complicated as I can set up a NAS NAS backup to happen automagically. When this happens, I'll probably update my Wifi 6 mesh (currently a NetGear Orbi RBK853) to a 953 Wifi 6e mesh which has at least one 2.5 gb LAN port per satellite which will vastly speed up node to node throughput. If I had ethernet wired in my house this would be a better solution, but unfortunately I don't as it's an older house before home networking was a consideration.

problem with prefering a nas over a cloud service, is that the initial investment is insane, a nas cost over $500, a few hard drives cost over $100, and if you go with ssd nvme which is what some companies are starting to make (ugreen) can go up to $350 to $400, i pay for both onedrive and icloud and i pay around $160 annually, so, do you really think is worth it?

Those are tiny disks for a 5 bay unit. 8TB are the sweet spot with Seagate Ironwolf Pro or EXOS at the moment if you don't wonna go 12TB plus per disk (which makes me a bit nervous, as it's just too many eggs in one basket). I just ordered 4x 8TB drives to upgrade my aging 4x3TB setup from many moons ago, which is running out of space now.

The immense cost of owning a NAS is never explained properly. You will have the unit and need to pay for all the extra disks, which adds an easy 800 bucks to the price of the NAS making it go to 1500+. But it is true, very true, that in order to be serious about this you will need a beefy unit to hold the data for a content creator.
