Newbie NAS setup

[Xetano]

Hi All,

 

I'm planning to upgrade my storage solution for my home backup of my photos and important files.  Currently I have 2x4TB WDC blue drives that is mounted on an Orico usb SATA HDD dock.  This setup is working fine  however, the back up process of our phones are manual.  We have to plug our phones and manually copy all the files into the drives.

 

I have decided that I will go for either Synology DS918+ or QNAP TS453BE.  But due to the availability of QNAP in my location I would be going with the Synology.   I am also planing to purchase 2x4TB Seagate iron wolf drive and mix it with my WDC Blues. 

 

Is this a good idea?

 

Thanks in advance for you insights.

Best to get all new drives for a new system.
