Lazyweb help wanted: NAS recommendations
Looking for recommendations for a new home #NAS. Our current #WesternDigital one has reached EOL, so we’re looking for something up-to-date to replace it:
- 4+ bays (with or without drives)
- RAID (any scheme, just not JBOD)
- Gigabit ethernet (x2 pref.)
- SSH and web interface
- ext4 (pref.)
- 2GB+ RAM (expandable++!)
- quiet & low-power standby
- the faster the better, obvs!
Burned badly by #QNAP in the past, so 👎
Any input much appreciated! TIA!

@nullifidian I use Synology for about a year. No problems so far.

@apinae Can you recommend a model? Looking at the DS920+ and DS420+, both seem like good options.

@nullifidian I have the DS420+ because it’s big enough for what I need at home. But if you need the extra space the DS420+ is the way to go of course. That being said, should you need it to handle more and bigger tasks then the DS920+ would be the better future-proof option (2 more CPU cores). The whole system from Synology and the DSM software platform are easy to use. And as far as I remember, the price difference between DS920+ and DS420+ was not that big. So to be on the safe side and if money is not too much ab issue, go with the DS920+
