Can't stress this enough, y'all need to encrypt your NAS data. Hacking's on the rise and you don't want to leave your door wide open. Here’s the step-by-step:
First, Full Disk Encryption (FDE) is what you want. Yeah, it's a pain to setup initially, but peace of mind, folks.
Before you even move your files, secure those disks. Use AES-NI if your processor supports it; virtually no performance hit.
Next, learn about key management. Don't lose those keys or it's game over for your data. Proper key storage is as important as the encryption itself.
Remember, any cloud sync needs to be end-to-end encrypted. Services like Tresorit or Cryptomator will be your pals here.
Be smart, stay secure. Let me know if you need help setting this up, happy to lend wisdom to the community here.

Key management is so crucial and often overlooked. My two cents: store your encryption keys using a password manager, and for additional backup, write them down and store them in a fireproof safe. Having a strong recovery plan is just as important as the initial encryption. Also, remember that physical security matters too. Don't let the term 'network-attached storage' make you forget someone could just walk away with the physical device!

Couldn't agree more. I’ve seen forums with horror stories of unencrypted NAS setups getting hit. It’s a nightmare scenario. I use Veracrypt for encrypting portable drives too. As for NAS, I went with hardware-based encryption on my rig. Remember, if you're encrypting your network drives, make sure your backups are also encrypted. Double down on that security!

Good heads-up! Just to add, if you're running a Synology or QNAP, you can use their built-in encryption tools with AES. It’s a straightforward process, and their support pages give a solid rundown. It's like, why wouldn’t you encrypt your NAS when it's basically a few clicks away?
