My firm has used Synology for ~8 years, and it's good. I should add that as a result of not updating its OS, in 2014 it got hit with ransomware. Since the attack didn't impact Mac files, and back then most were Mac here, we did not notice for ~2-3 weeks, when
the ransom had risen to a lot more than the ~$1500 of work to restore from a tertiary backup system (ransomware usually spreads to any directly connected secondary backup, so good to have a less frequently updated tertiary system). Synology has a bunch of
apps available, like for backing up to such popular offsite systems as Amazon S3/Glacier. </div>

The Raid was nice--one of the drives failed within months, and Synology replaced for free.<br>
<br>
That all said, I rarely deal with the device myself, and we use it only for backup, not a working file server.

<div>I’m also interested in a new local backup RAID system. A consultant I work with suggested I look into Synology disk stations. Wondering whether anyone has compared these two?</div>

<div class="x_gmail_default" style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif">I want to purchase and set up a 10tb RAID1 external hard drive system. (So that would be two 10tb hard drives mirroring each other.) Someone suggested that I get a QNAP Tr-002 system
(example: <a href="https://www.newegg.com/qnap-tr-002-us/p/N82E16822099076?Description=qnap%20tr-002&cm_re=qnap_tr-002-_-22-099-076-_-Product&quicklink=true">
https://www.newegg.com/qnap-tr-002-us/p/N82E16822099076?Description=qnap%20tr-002&cm_re=qnap_tr-002-_-22-099-076-_-Product&quicklink=true</a>). Does anyone know if that is a good system? It is less expensive to get two independent single 10tb external hard
drives and use a mirroring function available as part of Windows 10 to mirror the two drives but someone advised me not to trust Windows 10 to do that. Also, I was thinking of getting SAS drives instead of NAS drives, but that is apparently a different types
of system and I don't know much about that. Any thoughts on these things? Also, if I do get NAS drives, which ones are best? Thanks in advance.<br>
