Sure, at an obscene price.

Well, there ya go.

OP can’t reply; cat slit their throat.

Thank you for articulating what I was trying to get at with OP.

Will QNAP or Synology be enough for my needs and can I install custom software there?

Probably? Most likely yes, today. Next week 2 month / year when you decide to run something else or more, not so much.

I don’t really want to create hardware from scratch.

A desktop running NAS like software will work.

From another comment from op

I don’t want to hear the fans

You put a NAS under load and you’re gonna a hear fans.

I want something that turns on and off as necessary.

Run enough things on your NAS and it’ll never have the time to turn off.

Thanks.

It comes from a combination of working a job where I saw data loss on a weekly basis and then working a job in a highly regulated industry.

Not with that attitude they don’t.

That’s the real story here.

It’s all garbage!

My critical documents that MUST be in print are stored in a fireproof safe. If it doesn’t need to be in print it’s scanned, shredded, and backed up.

Photos are scanned and stored. They’re also backed up.

Doesn’t mean I’ll necessarily go to iOS; more likely completely rethink having a phone at all.

Man cuts off nose to spite face; news at 11

I wish I could find out (at a later date) how the overall vote turned out.

Did the jury decide on 2 days vacation or the money?

I also thought about the 3-2-1 backup rule, but am unsure if that is overkill.

Maybe you shouldn’t be home hosting critical data if you think this is overkill.

And it’s a shame that the ATC was murder. He had a small margin of blame, but not enough to kill over.

Them.

You’re right that if it was supposed to be run in local only mode there wouldn’t be a streaming over the internet option.
