Hi, I have 2 Syn 1511 and a Drobo 5d3 with the two synologies as backup devices to the Drobo. The Drobo is running out of capacity and I am loathed to invest in more storage as it’s unsupported.
I want to upgrade the main storage but unsure what is best despite watching your YouTube’s.
I am thinking Synology 1522 rather than 1821, probably with 16TB drives (trying to find a sweet spot and discount window). Probably WD Red Pro although these are not supported by Synology (should I look at Iron Wolf, Tosh N300 or even the Syn 3310 plus - is that equiv to WD Red Plus though)
I haven’t looked at QNAP as I know Synology and I am a little concerned moving back from DAS to NAS but that will share better between the desktop and Laptop.
Any recommendations, am I on the right lines.
