If you're a streamer or video content creator, you likely have a LOT of video files on your computer, on the cloud, or maybe a cluttered mess of both. But are you storing your content safely? And is it easy to find? We were going to help Katie get organized by showing her how to choose the right storage device, organize her files, sync and manage cloud storage, and back everything up (just in case), but we thought -- why not do it live and answer all of YOUR questions while we're at it?
So join us to learn why you should be thinking about storage and organization and how you make it easy, safe, and efficient with @synologyinc. This is a 5 week series and today's session is all about picking the right device. We'll discuss:
Capacity
Performance
SSD Cache
Network capability
Future expansions
And more!
More about Synology:
Synology Network Attached Storage (Synology NAS) creates your own personal storage that you can access anywhere you have internet connection. Never pay monthly, reoccurring cloud fees, and finally own your own storage. Synology's operating system, Disk Station Manager, makes the ease of use and organization of data for all levels of users simple and easy to learn.
