Hello,
I would like to setup a ssd nas server, preferably synology.
I wonder is it better to use 3 disks, each 2tb, in raid 5 or to buy 2 disks, each 4tb. In case of failure of one of the disks it looks as it would be better to use lower size to replace failed one, but what are other advantages/disadvantages?
I was eyeing 2,5" SATA 2TB WD Red WDS200T2R0A as a candidate for my use.
I would also like to know your opinion about what unit to choose. I'd prefer rack unit, but its not a must-requirement. I plan to use unit in 2,5gbe networking environment so it should has 10gbe upgrade card?
I found RS1221 - are there better alternatives? How long will this product be supported by synology? Is there a chance of synology rolling 24 series unit in upcoming months?
And lastly, do you have any networking switches with 8-ports and 2,5gbe networking that you could recommend? I found QNAP QSW-1108-8T, do you have maybe better alternatives?
Thank you in advance
Regards,
Thomas
