![]() ![]() Spent way more than I planned for my first NAS, $1k for DS 920+ and four 4 TB WD Red Plus HDDs. I can't say what the current crop is like. Not in the same class as any full-featured NAS. Acceptable for backups, but not very useful for working on served files. As I recall, network performance was poor too. WD My Cloud: I have not looked at one in years.but last time I did, they had very limited functionality, and had slow interfaces. ![]() You will notice in the B&H link above they also sell them paired with a bunch of different HD options, including 2 x 14TB. I only see one Seagate HD that is not compatible, and it is specific for surveillance. I have never had any issue with any popular HDs not being compatible. Synology has an extensive list of compatible drives here. B&H carries them, as do New Egg and many reputable online vendors.Īs for drives.not sure where you found that info. Never been an issue for me, mostly because I am not close to any big tech vendors anyways. Yes.Synology is not very common in brick and mortar stores. I have had good luck with the WD red drives in several NAS boxes and attached storage arrays. Nope.Server is no longer what it used to be, so no benefit as a NAS (it still does a couple of other things, but nothing file serving specific). PROS: Lower cost, more compact, dedicated headless, more functionality and flexibility The 220+ is likely cheaper and is more compact (one box, one plug, etc.). ![]() If buying gear, one would need both the Mini and an external storage box.
