Photographer Jeff Cable shares his experience transitioning from a Drobo NAS system to a QNAP NAS system, including the installation process, data migration of 1.5 million photos, and the challenges faced with indexing and re-indexing the drive. He highlights the benefits of using a 4TB Crucial x10 SSD drive as his main drive for faster access and the ease of setting up remote synchronization between the QNAP NAS units. Cable praises the user interface, features, and reliability of the QNAP system, particularly the ability to access files remotely and the auto backup of his camera roll. He concludes that the QNAP solution has surpassed his previous setup and provides peace of mind for his photography business.
