Based on your situation, I believe that choosing to back up your videos and photos to NAS will be the best method for you.

NAS is very suitable for processing unstructured data such as video, audio, photos, web pages, text, and documents. It is a dedicated centralized storage server. NAS allows users to access the data stored in it over the network at a faster speed.

NAS and external hard drives are both good storage devices, but the general storage space of NAS is still much larger than that of HDDs, which can help you relieve the burden of requiring multiple HDDs to save all files. However, it should be noted that, unlike HDDs that connect directly to computers using a USB interface, NAS typically appears in a box shape and needs to be connected to the Internet. In other words, NAS cannot be carried by you on a daily basis.

However, you can download file hosting and sharing platforms such as NextCloud on NAS. With its help, you can access your files anywhere you have the Internet.

However, if you want your photos and videos to meet the highest security standards, I recommend that you follow the backup rules of 3-2-1 and store copies of files on multiple media. And EaseUS Todo Backup Home can help you achieve this.

As a reliable backup tool, EaseUS Todo Backup Home can easily help you automatically backup content from multiple HDDs to NAS, making the entire process faster and more stable than manual transfer. 

After that, you can use the free cloud space provided by Ease to store copies of your files in the cloud. In this way, when a hardware failure occurs on a NAS or HDD, you can quickly recover your file data through EaseUS's cloud service.
