Hi All!

As the title says, I am on the search now for a file storage system. Currently I have all of my photos and associated files backing up to cloud storage which works well. But I do worry if I reach a day where a provider decides to stop cloud storage (highly unlikely) or I decide to move to another method and I am downloading tb worth of data and moving it.

Currently thinking of switching to a (noob friendly) NAS where my onedrive will backup on to it once a month or so.

I am also really clueless on servers, this has been a thought over the weekend while storing more images.

Am I crazy or does this sound like a good option?

      I have the Synology DS218J with 2 x 4TB WD Red drives in a RAID 1+0 config giving me 4TB of mirrored storage.

      I then have an OWC Thunderbay 8 currently with 6 x 8TB Toshiba Enterprise drives again set up as RAID 1+0 giving me 24TB of mirrored storage.
