It depends on whether you want a device -or whether you want a hobby. I'm not wanting to overspend too much.Īl_Borges has a great answer. ![]() Not that we're talking holding onto these for a decade! Saw a well priced 213+ but wasn't sure if it had enough oomph or future proof enough. I have been looking at lower spec'd synology boxes I just wasn't sure what a minimum would be. LoneWolf -> thanks for suggestion of 216play. But as is noted it is lower powered although no slouch. If installing FreeNAS (or Nas4Free, OMV, etc) would the os be installed on the HDD/SSD that is being assigned as raid0 and then the other disks just be managed by software raid by os? No such fan noise issues with N54L and can even be made quieter with change of fan. ![]() It supposedly can be mitigated if the onboard raid controller is used and have one hdd set to raid0 but I'm not quite sure how that works when installing OS (don't have much experience with server builds, etc). With regards to the Gen 8 my only concern with it is the fan noise I've read about. ![]() Thanks to all for your suggestions, hints and advice! Definitely lots to think about.
