Size, performance, cost. That is three things and I'm asking for only two. I need short depth and performance. They exist today and Synology should consideration making this SKU. Hard drives are huge, two is plenty. Who needs 8 bays? That's crazy. Those who do don't have a short depth limitation.
Purchase of NAS is similar to purchase of a car. When you take care only about:
- must be short as first mandatory requirement
- must be strong (performance)... btw, what does mean the strong argument and for what, for whom?
- specific brand (vendor), because features
then you have small choice range. Frequently under or overestimated.
... re who needs more than 2 bay NAS, even 8?
there is same answer as for Q- who needs a truck?
