Recently I had one of my main hard drives crash, and the data wasn't recoverable. It was honestly a devastating experience to go through, and I think too many of us wait until tragedy strikes before we upgrade to a reliable storage system. In reality, it's way more important than buying a new camera or lens. Storage is the back bone of a creator's work flow. So I decided to invest in a Synology NAS, and today I'm setting it up and taking you through the process to show that it isn't too difficult at all.
