It's important to make sure that your individual HDD are from different batches, even different manufacturers. 4TB is the maximum size you should use.
I currently have an 11 yr old 4bay Synology NAS. Started out with 4x4TB drives. To cut a long story short, It is now limping with just 1 drive in the bay and 2 X 4TB 2.5" portable drives attached for weekly/daily backups. I decided that RAID really was not for me as long as I had backups
So I pretty much thought I am well protected .... until a colleague's house got broken into and that got me thinking of Theft, Fire and Flood since all my backups are in the house.
I have heard in this tread about S3 Glacier and Blackblaze online backup. which is best of for 3.5TB worth of data
I am sticking with 2bay NAS this time around so Synology or Qnap for NAS?Comment
