I bought a QNAP HS-453DX-4G two weeks ago and I need an advice how to fill it.
I am a graphic desginer and I'll use it primarily for my work - direct access and backup for lot of photoshop, illustrator and indesign files, images, pdfs, videos etc and host 1 small Wordpress website as well. Secondarily I'll use it for my family stuff - photos, videos, music, movies etc.
Hardware questions
I plan to buy two 4TB WD Red HDDs in RAID 1, that's simple. But what next?
Maybe two 500GB Samsung 860 EVO for SSD caching, but which type? Read-Only or Read-Write? RAID 0 or RAID 1? Which type of Storage Pool? Or better stick to Qtier solution? What solution do you recommend in my case?
Software questions
I struggle with myQNAPcloud Privacy Policy which sounds pretty bad to me. I really need to share my files and also access them remotely but more securely. Is there any better option to do this? OwnCloud? Nextcloud? OpenVPN server for remote access to all the NAS settings? Do you have any experiences with these?
