Hi
I need a second NAS for my business which I run from home. I need to be able to store photos, videos and I need to work off the NAS directly = 10Gbps. I also would like to run a few VM’s.
I own a DS918+ w/DX517 with 4x WD Red Pro & 5x Seagate Ironwolf (non-pro) 8TB drives (SHR) already, and I like the Synology eco-system, but I'm open to moving platform, if it can communicate/sync with my DS918.
I like the idea of an 8-bay NAS, as it allows for plenty of drives and expansion if needed. Noise may be an issue though.
I want to use 3x EXOS X20 20TB drives to begin with as they are cheap, but not being supported by Syno scares me. Should it?
I've looked at the 1823xs+, as it supports storage on M.2 slots, but no SHR and lacking drive compatibility also scares me.
And is the 1821+ a bad buy (considering age), and is there a new version coming out (eg. 1823+, non-xs) soon?
Help!
Kind regards
Thomas
