We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time (tm) ). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.

Hi all been lurking around trying to get some info on here. Figured Id try my luck and ask my Q. Ive never run an NAS , just have external hard drives (even a few zip disks) laying around for the last 2 decades or so. Im very interested in the idea of a central place to secure everything. I probably need around 15tb of storage (without redundancy). was looking at the Synology DiskStation DS923+. is the higher price of SSD worth it for NAS? What would you guys recommend for me for a diskstation and hard drives. I dont have an unlimited budget would love to stay below 1500$ if possible. Would alos love if this could double as a mediaserver. thanks in advance
