The first thing I wanted to do was spread the load. I installed a couple of WD Red 3TB drives, again in a RAID array, and I was away. It’s the cheapest drive they make, but I don’t need it to do a great deal.
I also instigated a regular “offsite backup” another simple Seagate external drive which I kept at work in my desk draw, regularly bringing home to ensure that the NAS was backed up in another location (sadly a former colleague once had his hard drive stolen in a house break-in even though the value of the hard drive was probably quite low).īut even being fairly ruthless over what photos I keep, my NAS was getting dangerously close, so earlier this week I decided to invest in an additional Synology DS214se. There are 2 x 2TB drives in a RAID array to give me redundancy. Since getting my first NAS, I was pretty happy. In particular I was worried about music, video and mostly photos. I first bought a DS210j about two or three years ago when I started to get a bit more concerned about how well backed up my data is. I now have a couple of Synology NAS drives. This is going to be a bit dry, but it may or may not help others. Note: Just to be clear – I’ve installed Plex on a DS210j and not a DS214se.
