First conclude, as a storage synchronization solution, private cloud NAS is far more convenient, reliable, and flexible than mobile hard disks, and more secure than network disks.
As a social animal worker who often travels, several work hard drives have followed me to the south and north in recent years. However, last year, the hard disk began to be unreadable one after another, and plugged in the computer did not respond. Later, I looked at some strategies to know that the hard disk must ensure heat dissipation, can not be damp, can not be bumped, do not be close to strong magnetism, but also ensure sufficient power supply. You have to provide for business trips, which is too difficult to serve!
In order to work, I also tried the method of regular backup of hard disk + network disk, but the speed of krypton gold is too touching, and the capacity is not enough. The most important thing is that my demand for buying a hard disk is data storage and data backup, and the result is still to manually "prepare for it".
Having suffered enough of the mobile hard disk, I decided to find a better way to store my data. Later, I gradually learned about the NAS private cloud storage solution, a personal local data storage center, and there are various brands on the market to choose from. After clarifying their own needs, they finally chose the Greenlink Private Cloud DX4600.
The first is to meet the basic needs of data storage. The DX4600 I chose is a four-bay device, each hard disk bit can support up to 20T hard disk, and two M.2 ports are provided at the bottom, which can be used for read and write acceleration, and can also be used as storage space. I currently only put 2 4T runs, which should be enough for me to save until retirement (think.jpg.
In addition to the large capacity, the upload and download speed is also very important, and this is the most important reason why the network disk is abandoned. The rental house of the migrant worker only has a humble 100 gigabit network, but the LAN can be 10+m/s, and there is no problem in running the full bandwidth properly.
Remote reading and writing is also very convenient, business trips, whether it is computers, mobile phones to retrieve information, or temporarily take out the tablet to tell the customer the plan, is a quick response, full of stability.
I was also impressed by the superior data security. The client can set automatic backup and encryption space, and also provides different storage modes to choose from, "backup on backup" automatic implementation, no longer have to worry about the sudden strike of hard disk as before.
The second is to avoid all the minefields of the portable hard drive! Greenlink's DX4600 body shell is made of aluminum alloy, with large hollow vents and fans on the back, and there is no problem with heat dissipation. And moisture/bumps/strong magnetism/insufficient power supply, which is difficult to avoid this mobile hard disk, the private cloud placed at home does not have to worry at all.
In addition to the above rigid needs, Greenlink DX4600 has deeply captured my heart in the functional implementation. Its app integrates all the data from all my devices and can be easily accessed through a single "Green Link Cloud App". For migrant workers, convenience and peace of mind are the biggest advantages.
When doing Nas/private cloud homework, I have observed some relatively old Nas products, but the complicated initial setup and usage page are fiercely dissuaded, which is not worthy of me. The Green Link Cloud APP page is very friendly, suitable for usage habits, and some extended functions also provide intimate tutorial guidance, which really realizes the completion of the personal data center.
There are two other features that I really like after experience, smart photo albums and file organization.
Who can understand, the screenshot taken casually contains rich information and inspiration, and can only eat ash because of the lack of collation; Through WeChat to synchronize files, devices are passed around, duplicate files are deposited in unknown corners, and memory is slowly eaten. These two functions of Greenlink Cloud solve this problem well and greatly improve work efficiency.
In the era of big data, everyone's devices and the memory in the devices are constantly rising, a few years ago mobile phones with 64G can walk sideways era, how can I think that now 512G is about to bottom out in red. Instead of worrying about a mobile hard disk, or recharging a bottomless black hole network disk, it is better to start a private cloud and build your own data center in one step.
