I originally posted this in my introduction, but I was wisely advised to post in a more appropriate forum.
My usage will be for media streaming, primary backup of photos data etc and iOS photos. I’ve pretty much decided on the DS920+ as I want 4 bays. My problems are with the HDD selection. As usual, there is a lot of conflicting information on the ‘net, so I’m hoping for some guidance from those more familiar with this subject. I’m either going with 3x 8Tb (to expand later, when funds allow) or 4x 6Tb. Either should provide for growth over the next few years. I tend to use Amazon UK a lot as the returns service is so straightforward, but some disks seem to be in short supply or from Amazon EU which incur import duty. I looked at the Toshiba N300 series, and, as if I’m not confused enough already, they have 2 different offerings, 1 just referred to as NAS, the other as ‘New Generation’ but seemingly, still NAS drives. Can anyone clarify this for me please?
Are there any UK vendors (other than Amazon) folks can recommend?
I won’t bore you all with any details, but I’m being closely monitored by the hospital and it’s possible that I could be re-admitted at any time, if tests show any deterioration in my condition. This research is a very welcome distraction, but I’d like to get this in place quickly, so my wife has access to media in my absence.
Apologies for the length of my post!
