Just a reminder for everyone to check: I had the Discover 30% off (max $30) on my amazon account - so, I just used 1 point and got $30 off. I also had the AMEX 15% off (max $15) on my account. So, might be good to check if either of those are active on the account Smilie.

NOTE: As a plus, Discover also has Amazon.com as part of its 5% Cash Back this quarter Applause

These are very expensive at these prices still. Use An old computer and load FREE NAS as an OS for a better bargain!
No thank you, I prefer Synology.
I don't have time to dealing with all that crap.

Quote from JohnRambo :
Hey would love advice if you know Synology... Thinking of two 4tb drives in a 2 bay Synology... For my ladies Christmas present. She is a photographer and her biggest fear is losing her photos, and right now she has three separate USB drives with about 3 TB of data total stored on all of them.

On the other hand I fear it's not a nice enough setup but the budget would add up to go bigger. Reason being I saw on YouTube where a guy had a 4 bay Synology, with twice the storage amount he needed, and his logic was if he only used half the capacity, he could lose two drives in a freak event and still would have the cross-stored safety to salvage half the total capacity of the drives. Not sure how the tech works but that was what I gathered.

Would 2 bay setup be an upgrade or not worth it unless going bigger? Data read write speed would certainly be a plus factor as well as home cloud server stuff I sort of understand that Synology makes possible.
Really good advice that someone offered to look for on-line backup rather than just relying on a NAS. With a 2-bay Synology, though, here is what your photographer could do: move the 3TB of photos / data from the three separate USB drives to one hard drive in the 2-bay Synology, have that drive back up to the drive in the Synology's second bay, then have that same data back up to an on-line service like Backblaze.

That is the setup that I have. The on-line backup service that I use is called iDrive, but there are many. Some of them (including iDrive) can run an app on the Synology so that the NAS does the backup to the on-line service without the user having to do anything at all (i.e., independent of a computer). This is what you want. Then, all she has to do is dump photos from her camera to the Synology.

With the Synology, you could have the drives run in RAID 1, which just shoots the same data to both drives instantly. Or you could run a program on the Synology that copies the data on an intermittent basis from one drive to the other. There are advantages and disadvantages to each approach. Not worth going into here, but either way is fine.

In sum, I would recommend that you buy the DS220+ with two hard drives of the same size (pick at least 6TB or 8TB each drive, to allow room to grow), then subscribe her to an online backup service that runs directly from the Synology. Then forget about it.

Excellent point. $220 plus drives is a bargain for what these do.

Does this have the memory built in it the disc drive or is it just a case and all
It is a "smart" box, i.e., it has a processor and RAM in it. It's not just a box that depends on a computer to do anything. It's a computer in itself.

Same here, didn't have time to put an order in early today and am sorry that I pushed it off. But I've seen amazon schedule things out for future deliver only to have them show up a week later. Here's hoping that was just a worst case scenario time line. Either way it's still a good deal - unless something pops up in the next 24 hours.

I just ordered the DS220+ and the checkout page says the order qualifies for a $50 credit towards future Amazon.com purchases. Anyone else seeing that?

I also had a $50 "Offer Applied". Not sure what that is for, but it may be a $50 credit from the recent Oculus Quest 2 deal, which had the same "qualify for $50 credit" promo at checkout.

Quote from wasssup :
Yeah I have a purposefully built system much like the alternative you describe. 6x drives with almost 70TB raw storage, i3, all in a node 304 microitx case.

Problem is I don't have a good photo solution setup and since I'm well past 2TB of pictures / videos in the family the typical Google Photos, Amazon Photos, etc solutions aren't super viable. I've been excited to try Synology Photos.

On the fence if I should get the 920+, part my system, and learn to live an ordinary life now that I'm old and have zero time to tinker lol…

I ended up popping $1.99/mo for Amazon unlimited photo and video storage.

You're right that Amazon could pull in the ship date at any time from that long out-date. (They've done it to me in the past as well.) If you want a guarantee of sooner shipping, though, you can cancel and buy the DS220+ from Newegg. It's still on sale there today (Black Friday) for the same price (use BFFRDY38 code at checkout). When I checked last night, shipping on this unit was next week.

Even having NBase-T would give you the ability to use them as a single use NAS/Pfsense docker host, being able to handle 2.5gbps. But yeah an sfp+ port or two would even further expand that. Even iscsi would perform better on an sfp+ link vs a 1gb base-t
You're right, but this all adds to cost thus making the NAS cost much more, which is likely not the target market for them on these models (yet).

I thought about getting the Newegg one, but since this is a "me" present in the month of expensive holiday shopping, the 12 month interest free offer on the Amazon credit card won out. I can wait - the other holiday presents cannot. And if nothing else there is the excitement of "ooo, when will it show up?!?" Laugh1
