Photo Storage Solution?
Looking for advice on a long term storage solution for my photography.
I am not a professional, but I am actively shooting and improving my skills. I try to have my camera with me often to capture daily. Capturing travel, family, artistic endeavors, practicing portraits, nature, wildlife, …
I am planning to get a MacBook Pro soon and will utilize the internal SSD for photos I am actively working on / editing. I would like to get an external SSD at some point to utilize when traveling to dump photos and be a bridge in my workflow between my active editing group and my long term archive solution. With SSD prices as they are now, I am waiting and hoping for prices to come down. Looking at some version of External Sandisk Extreme Pro 4tb for that piece.
For long term storage - I am considering a Synology NAS system setup. I am unsure what tier to buy in for this piece as it seems there are cheaper ~$200 versions like the DS223j - then there are much more robust versions ~$1,000+ like the DS423+ / DS923+.
Any advice on how I should approach the long term storage solution with NAS?
