Synology enclosure options are overwhelming please counsel - Hello, new to this forum. Didn't quite grasp the form. Let me fill in some. I previously owned a production / post facility all rack mounted so desktop is a new thing to me and quit would be nice so some advice on drives appreciated. Illness forced retirement. Beat illness, can't handle retirement. So I need a 5 plus bay system (room to add). My work is photo (fashion/beauty), digital art (taking IRL work into the digital) and film (actual motion picture xfer) and video - so large files. Some clients are returning, some new - would like to offer protected access to them with out the awkward Dropbox / Creative Cloud links. I back up work 3-2-1. OS X 11.3.1. Creatively I use CC suite, FCXP/Motion. I've noticed you are a passionate lot (reddit / nascompares I'm looking at you)- and used enclosures come up frequently, I'm ok with that too - Cheers, c4mb0rg
