I see Best Buy has a good deal on a 14TB WD Easystore USB 3.0 for today's deal of the day and it got me thinking. It seems pretty cheap for 14TB of storage. My current Synology DS218 only has 4TB, and is getting a little fuller all the time with photos and videos. Is it worth adding something...

Hi All:
My Synology NAS (DS118 and 2xDS218play) are very slow to respond afetr they go to sleep (can take a minute to come back online). Can't find any settings to change this. It's a pain when saving or opening a file to have to wait this long before anything happens. Once it wakes up, it...

Thank you in advance.
