Windows 10: Do I need 2 NAS's? One for my work files and another for surveilance?

Hi, I had a question about NAS disk drives.

I know that there are hard drives that are solely dedicated for NAS drives. And if the NAS is going to go through some extra usage like when there are many different users, assessing it at once, 24/7, they have NAS drives called Enterprise NAS drives. And, if the NAS is going to be used for surveilance videos, they have dedicated NAS drives that are called Surveilance NAS drives.

Well, I work from home a lot and I store all of my work files (about 1 TB) on my Synology NAS drive and work off the NAS. However, I also use the Synology NAS drive for video surveilance recordings for a remote building and for areas around my home.

My question is should be using two different NAS's?

Or, should I partition the NAS so that one volume is dedicated for my work files and another volume is dedicated for my surveilance videos?

What's the best choice?

:)

NAS drive not showing in the Network after Windows 10 auto update this week

Hello Charles,

Let's get your NAS device detected on your home network.

Kindly follow the suggested steps below:

Step 1: Disable anti-virus software and Windows Firewall.

NOTE: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you shouldn't disable your antivirus software. If you have to temporarily disable it to install other software,
you should re-enable it as soon as you're done. If you're connected to the Internet or a network while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

Follow the below steps to turn off Windows Firewall:

• Press Windows + X, click on Control Panel, select
  Category and then select Large or Small icons.
• Click on Windows Firewall.
• Click Turn Windows Firewall on or off. If you're prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
• Click Turn off Windows Firewall (not recommended) under each network location that you want to stop trying to protect, and then click
  OK.

If the issue still persists,

Step 2: We suggest you to reconfigure the NAS drive.
