Win a free Synology NAS to safely store your content

Many of us are used to storing our personal data like photos, documents and the like on public cloud servers like Google Drive and the like. While they’re, for the most part, free, there’s always the possibility and risk that they can charge you on a whim, hike up your fee or enact some obscure legislation to use it elsewhere as fodder for a machine learning algorithm. 

Fortunately, the usage of a Network Attached Storage (NAS) solution helps mitigate these hassles significantly as it lets you store your photos, documents and other content on a personal cloud that only you control for complete privacy.

There’s a bit of outlay in the beginning but it’s a one time cost that will render you proof against the whims and vagaries of fate in the future if some cloud storage company decides to hike up their rates or charge more for storage.

Free Synology NAS giveaway

If you’re keen on getting started and hopping onto the NAS bandwagon, you’re in luck as Synology is offering one of their NAS solutions up for grabs in a free giveaway.

The mechanics to win a free Synology NAS are as simple as it gets as you simply have to fill out their survey form on their website, submit it by 15th September and they’ll pick a winner with the best submitted story on 17th September to get a Synology DS220+ NAS absolutely free. Five other winners will get Touch ‘n Go vouchers as consolation prizes.

The Synology DS220+ is a solidly built start-up NAS ideal for novices and casual users as it packs a dual-core Intel Celeron J4025 for more efficient indexing of content and runs Synology’s highly user friendly DiskStation Manager (DSM) that makes backup up content and managing a complex NAS an absolute doddle.
