Network Storage Device Benefits

Synology DiskStation DS3018xs (https://www.synology.com/en-us/products/DS3018xs) - $1,299.99 (Amazon)

  • 6 Hard Drive Bays, allowing for a large amount of growth if needed
  • Suggested Setup - 4x 4TB Hard Drives, setup in RAID6
    • Provides you with 8TB of Storage for files
    • Provides redundancy, if two hard drives fail at the exact same time, you don’t lose any data
  • The system has 4 network ports, so we can use those to provide access faster to everyone.
  • 5 Year Warranty + Next Business Day Shipping for replacements if needed


Seagate IronWolf 4TB NAS Hard Drives - $105.99 (Amazon) x 4

  • 3 Year warranty on each drive, if they fail you just call and they will send a replacement drive out (which, since we have the ability to run with even 2 failed drives we shouldn’t have an issue waiting a few days for a replacement drive)
  • Built specifically to run all day everyday in a storage device

    We can also setup the device to use Microsoft’s online Active Directory system (which is what we run locally on your server now) - This will allow you to login to your email (Office 365) and your files / documents with one simple login.

    There is no monthly or yearly fees for the Synology system and it allows access remotely without a VPN if needed for those offsite meeting or cases you need access to a single file for. It will also do versioning of your files and allow easy restoration.\
