#SYNOLOGY DRIVE APPLE SILICON UPGRADE#

14TB RAID1, TB3/USB-C so it will connect directly to a Silicon Macbook Pro So far I have eyed the following options: 'some' protection against bit rot / flipping / bad sector protection 16TB total usable storage (for photos only) Adequate speed for Lightroom: how fast does it need to be not to be a bottleneck? Photos available only at my main desk, allowing for external drives connected through TB3 / USB3 btrfs file system, allowing for enhanced (but still far from 100%!) bit rot / flipping / bad sector protectionįrom ecological perspective (I could easily afford the NAS and the energy bill) I am leaving the new NAS idea. 24TB total usable RAID6 (Synology SHR2) storage for photos, media library and NAS backups 10GbE speed (I don't need full 1000MB/s speed, but I don't want to be limited to 100MB/s) Photos available anywhere in the home (hence the NAS)

As a DS415play replacment, I almost pulled the trigger on a DS1621+ with 6 8TB drives to accomodate my growing photo storage needs. I'm moving away from NAS for my RAW photo storage. Q2: What storage is safe against mishap due to hard drive failureĬonsider me practising the 3-2-1 backup strategy being 3 instances of the same data, 2 at home and 1 remote (rotating) Q1: How fast is fast enough for Lightroom?Ĭonsider the circumstance that I will be upgrading my 2013 MacBook Pro to a Silicon 16' Macbook Pro in 1-2 years. This is a question about which external (non-NAS) storage to get for safe and fast Lightroom operation:
