Is there an app available that allows one to automatically backup photos and videos from a mobile device to the home network?

As far as I know, it is not possible. Access the fotos from your phone is possible via Synology Photos

Can I use 2-4TB SSD and use JBOD to get 8 TB storage?

I would say no. Using 2 4TB drives will only give you 4TB storage as one of the two drives is a mirror of the first one for fail-over. This is the purpose of NAS drive system. Synology website will explain the configurations in more detail. There are several excellent YouTube videos online to get more detailed information.

Is your ds223 nas compatible with seagate 8 tb ironwolf harddrives?

Yes, this is exactly what I have in my NAS DS223. 8GB seagate iron wolf. They work really well.

Can I use the HGST WD Ultrastar DC HC320 8TB with the synology ds223?

Did not see it it in compatibility list. From WD only Red Plus series (which I do not recommend - check WDDA alert on Synology in the internet)

Synology DS223: NAS solido, facile da usare e perfetto per casa o ufficio

Ho acquistato questo Synology NAS DS223 a 2 alloggiamenti (senza disco) e ne sono davvero soddisfatto. È un dispositivo ben costruito, silenzioso e molto intuitivo, ideale per chi vuole centralizzare file, backup e multimedialità senza complicazioni. 🔹 Perché merita 5 stelle: Facilità d’uso: la configurazione iniziale è semplice e guidata, anche per chi non è esperto. Software Synology DSM: l’interfaccia è potente, ben organizzata e offre tantissime funzioni (backup automatici, condivisione file, accesso remoto, app multimediali, ecc.). Flessibilità: i due alloggiamenti permettono di scegliere tra varie configurazioni RAID o uso indipendente dei dischi. Affidabilità: il sistema è stabile, e il NAS gestisce bene carichi di lavoro anche con più utenti collegati. Silenziosità: funziona in modo silenzioso, cosa che si apprezza soprattutto in ambienti domestici. In sintesi: un NAS versatile, potente e facile da gestire, perfetto per backup, storage in rete o streaming multimediale. 5 stelle meritate! 💾📂✨
