A bit off-topic, but I've just bought a small 2-bay synology NAS and I'm wondering if I should go ext4 or btrfs for my family photos/videos. I like the idea of data safety features like checksums & scrubbing, but ext4 seems more robust & tested. Which did you go with?
- Octopuz 6y agobtrfs works fine in Synology's implementation. Please keep in mind that RAID is not a backup. You can backup to a cloud service or to a friend's house with its own Synology.
- dsego 6y agoThanks, I was hoping it would. I understand that raid is not backup. I have two external drives and will probably also use a cloud service for off-site. I was also considering htl blurays for archives, but we'll see. The NAS will become the central storage hub so we don't keep files scattered around on family laptops and smartphones.
