Home QNAP NAS Hard Disk Solution

1. Overview

I have been using NAS for so long. For the home NAS hard disk solution, there is no need to set up any Raid. One hard disk stores important data, and the other hard disk is for backup. If you have an extra hard disk, you can store a second backup.

• Disk 1: 1T solid-state drive (SSD) to install the system and applications and fixed directories
• The second disk: 4T mechanical hard disk, storing the user's home and public shared files
• The third disk: 4T mechanical hard disk, which provides space for users to expand, and the rest stores important data backups on the first and second disks.
• The fourth tray: not used yet, it can be expanded according to the third tray in the future
