Basically I need to upgrade my NAS at home, it is almost 10 years old now and I don't trust the HDDs to last any longer really! Use it infrequently to stream videos, as well as storing my photos and artwork stuff. current setup is a synology NAS with 2 x 4tb HDDs... would like to move to something such as SSDs or the newer NVME style storage but a) I don't know a great deal about that and b) i don't know if it is compatible with the Synology NAS enclosures which id ideally like to continue with (replacing my old one). I could probably do with 4TB or 6TB now, not 8 as before. Any advice would be great!
Look on nascompares.com's Youtube channel, he does some really good videos about stuff like that. I could be wrong, but I believe you'd be best with spinning drives due to the price per TB and larger capacities. Personally, I use RAID 6 (on QNAP) to have some redundancy. I must admit, I don't understand the need to have the additional NVME drives as well as the "normal" drives)
Yeah I know it is pricey for the SSDs, maybe a hundred more. I don't really need more than say 4tb though and might consider taking a hit if it means my files are safer for longer (i know SSDs can corrupt etc)
