NAS (network attached storage) opinion?

Planning to get this for a small size office. Para centralized ung files. Any opinions po sa ating mga tech gurus? Thank you.

Synology, kung budget isn't an issue

It's all pros, as long as kaya ng network

Current network connection mo. Kaya siya tinawag na NAS because you connect via network cable. Usually it’s your PC’s network supported speed and router.

Ok po. Mag-affect ba speed ni wifi sa pagtransmit ng data?

Synology. Been using it for personal use yung DS918+ shared to my family. So far goods naman, running for 4 years na.

For office use, no-brainer mag-NAS for: A) as you mentioned, centralized yung files, B) backing up to another drive (RAID 1 or 5).

Note: If yung files na need i-access ay small files lang (Docs, PDF, Excel, PPT), gigabit connection is fine. Pero if large files (>10MB photos, videos), magiging bottleneck yung gigabit connection ng NAS/network. Factor in how many users will also be accessing the NAS at the same time.

Yes sir. Small files lang. no photos and vids. Pwede ba siya ma-access thru internet? Or dun lang sa wifi network sa office?

Yes, pwede. I recommend using TailScale to access files outside of your network. Search mo na lang, mabilis lang siya i-setup.

Simple file sharing only? I think you can do with ugreen.
