A NAS is a big investment, but what finally kicked me into action was the recent iCloud outage, when I realized that my Mac had offloaded many of my important documents to iCloud and I couldn’t access them for about 2 hours.Īfter some research, I purchased a Synology DS 920+ and four 6 TB WD Red hard drives.

I knew I needed a home server, specifically a networked-attached storage (NAS) device, but I hemmed and hawed for years.

I needed a better solution for local storage for this effort because my old system consisted of multiple external hard drives attached to my iMac, which was messy and made it hard to access files from other devices.
