So like many of us, is started out small, and have been progressing to needing more storage. Right now, I have 2 synology nas devices and a lot of random external drives (yay adhd).
My question is, when i need more space again, should I buy another nas, or try upgrading my drives to larger ones? The issue is find with upgrading is i wont have a way to move all my files from the smaller drives to the larger drives.
I was also thinking I should have another server or something to back up both my existing nas. Not sure. I worry im not doing it right.


Upsize your NAS drives. Get rid of external drives. Set up one nas to back up to the other, or pay for cloud backups. Synology cloud is relatively cheap.
