I want to set up a single NAS that supports:
- 6 or 8 bays (want SHR2)
- ECC memory
- video files (55-60TB) that will be streamed to 2 devices
- a photo archive (8TB)
- automatic backups for an iOS phone, an android phone and 4 PCs
- remote access to general files
- a Windows VM or two.
There won‘t be heavy network demand (just a few light users)
I am leaning toward an 8 bay device rather than one with fewer bays and an expansion unit.
I have an existing 1813+ that I haven’t really used with 5x 4TB In it. I have a new DS920+. I have new drives (5x 12TB, 2x 10TB, 4x 8TB)
Since the 920+ doesn’t support ECC memory I’m hesitant to put photos on it (originally got 920+ to replace 413+), i was thinking of getting a new 8 bay NAS instead which means 1819+ or wait for the 1821+
a couple of questions:
1) With the needs described above does it make sense to wait and see what the 1821+ will bring or is it unlikely to make a significant difference over the 1819+ for my use?
2) I was thinking of using the 1813+ to set up my video volume now with the 5 12TB drives and add the other items after I have the new NAS (assuming I could just move the drives from the 1813+ to the new one). Does this make sense or should I just wait until I have the new NAS?
3) The ECC memory issue aside, am I correct that the DS920+ and a DX517 would not be a good option over an 1819+ or newer?
i am tech savvy but don’t know a lot about Synology and haven’t really done much with DSM.
Any guidance/advice would be appreciated.
