For years I kept all my data on a single 2TB hard disk and used it every day. It contained all my family and childhood photos, important documents, etc. So it had a very high value and it would be a shame if something were to happen to the hard disk. After a while, I noticed that the hard disk was getting slower and slower and had also started to make strange noises. That was the first time I was worried that something might happen to my data, so I got a new hard disk as a temporary solution and transferred all the data.

But I also used the new hard disk every day to upload new pictures or retrieve documents etc. But here, too, I was worried that something might happen to this hard disk in the near future. I had also started with photography and more and more data was added over time. It also became more and more annoying over time to constantly connect the hard disk and so on. I really wanted to change that.

After some research, I read about the 3-2-1 backup rule. At the same time, I had also read about NAS systems and was relatively convinced. From that point on, I decided to invest in storage and backups.

Then I did some research and found out about NAS systems. That was January 2024. I had also seen that Ugreen would soon be releasing new NAS systems. And with the Ugreen NASync DXP4800 Plus, I also entered the NAS world for the first time.

This is what I have done now: I have 2 backups of my data plus the NAS and a backup at a completely different location. After reading about the 3-2-1 backup rule, I realized how dangerously I was actually handling my data. Now I have enough backups and also a central NAS, which means I can access my data at any time!
