Can anyone advise please:
I am about to set up a Network Attached Storage probably using a Synology box but still deciding on the format (number of discs, RAID or SAH (Synology Hybrid RAID)
Some questions:
1. Where do I store the catalogue? I suppose it has to be on the NAS but where do I back it up to?
2. At the moment I have 2 TB of images all in one catalogue (2004 to present) is it a good idea to have one catalogue or is it time to split them?
3. I have nearly 3TB of data/images/files on my desktop, I suspect I will go for at least double that maybe more.
4. I use both Mac and Windows, are there formatting requirements to enable both?
I am sure there is more I want to ask but if anyone who has set up a NAS, I'd really appreciate comments - or links to good sites
Thanks
Jerry
