I want to build a setup that me and my family can use.

Synology NAS A: Country A  
Synology NAS B: Country B

So I bought 2 \* DS923 plus units each with 8TB storage.

**What I wish to be able to do**

- I need a setup where NAS A and NAS B is in sync within 48h.

- I want single login option for 7 members. (Think I have a solution for this)

- When a photo album is share with all members, members from both NAS units need to be able to see and interact with the album.

- If possible I want to automatically connect to the NAS with the least connection lag. Meaning if I normally connect to NAS A and visit Country B I should connect to NAS B.

- My face recognition of photos should be visible on both systems.

**What I know how to do**

- Single login option for 7 members.

- Each system is setup with RAD0 as the other one should be backup to the other, I also do backup to HDD on a regular basis.

About the RAID 0 storage pool. May I ask why?

And why do I ask? I understand that some users prefer to live without fault tolerance or redundancy. If that is the case, do not use RAID 0 because you can not add disks to the storage pool if you like to expand. Use JBOD instead. No fault tolerance but with the option to expand in the future.

Still no real answer to my original question.
