    Hello everyone! I recently purchased a new Synology NAS for my Mac Studio and am excited to finally leverage the 10Gbe port. However, I'm faced with a dilemma on how to proceed. I've noticed that switches with 10Gbe ports are quite expensive for their basic function, so I'm considering an...

    Synology NAS compatible with M1 chip/Apple Silicon?

    I'm thinking of buying a NAS for centralized backup (with access from different devices), simple cloud backup and to offload a small internal storage in the Mac mini M1. Is Synology compatible with Apple Silicon now in 2023? As it is a costly investment, I want it to go smoothly.

    How risky to update Big Sur > Monterey without a full backup?

    We are having consistent problems with Macs / Time Machine not backing up to Synology NAS devices. So, local data has to be backed up manually which means getting some, very likely missing some and not getting any settings. My 2020 13" MacBook Pro is suffering from the 'reboot with every sleep'...

    Considering moving back to Apple Photos and using NAS as a backup

    Years ago I used iPhoto for my images and really liked it. Then Apple ditched it in favour of the Photos app. I hated it and so moved away from it opting to use my Synology NAS to store all my images. It has software called Moments that works a bit like Photos and allows me to use my NAS as a...
