Recently installed and it’s chewing through 25 years of digital photos, has been some weeks now and expecting it to take another week.

But - seems great. I was prompted to do this after the death of a friend and the subsequent hunt for photos, so I’m hoping the facial recognition lives up to its billing.

I don’t really like having the NAS on 24/7 but I do like the idea of having that local photo sync. Probably cheaper to start with iCloud given the costs of 20TB drives and energy prices, however.

The facial recognition can tell my kids apart better than I can (with just the cropped face; other context makes it obvious which kid is which).

How many and size?
