I have a trusty and well functioning DS1517+ that has been running since seemingly forever and has a mix of 3x 10TB WD RED and 2x 15TB Toshiba. Never any issues.
Now I have two things to take care of:
So is there any list of which drives actually work with this model? Or is there at least a "go to" brand of 20TB drives that seemingly work in most models? I have to say I'm quite devastated that Synology would screw over the enthusiast sector like this. I don't mind buying an expensive NAS but I do not want Enterprise HDDs nor do I want to be strongarmed into buying them. Is this the future of Synology? Is it back to building our own NAS from here on? Can Synology be trusted with anything from here on out? I'm at a loss whether to give up the brand completely with so much uncertainty.
Now I have two things to take care of:
- I never took backups seriously.
- I am beginning to run out of storage.
