Which NAS?

Hi,

 

after three years I have to change my NAS (Iomega ix2-200). Both hd have errors so

I think is better to change the NAS itself.

 

Was looking to

 

QNAP TS-421

Synology DS414

Do you have any experience with these brands?

Any suggestion? Also other models.

 

 

thank you!

 

Alessandro

There has been a discussion with some input around Synology NAS some time ago:

Take a look till someone is able to give you more info on the specified models and whatnot.

I have a synology 712 (i believe it's been discontinued and replaced with a 713) and I love it. Quick, quiet, reliabhle and lots of nice features. I have an external drive hooked up to it and automatically backs up my stuff every night

@ Dimitri: thank you for the link. I've tried to use the search function on the forum but doesn't seem to work

you told you wanted to buy a nas, did you?

 

@ Jonathan: thank you for your reply. Seems that Synology is a standard for NAS.

 

I still have a doubt about hd replacment. Iomega support told me that "officialy" I should replace an hd with the same model (brand, capaciy and speed) but after few years is difficult (if not impossible) to find the same exact model.

My seller told me that I could repalce it with another brand and speed.

 

As I would like to buy a 4 bay NAS with only two hd at the beginning I'm wondering if I will have problems to add/change different hd in the future.

 

Anyone using QNAP?
