I have to replace my Netgear ReadyNas Duo due to problems with the SMB1 protocol. I am primarily using my NAS as a music library and as source for backing up. Since I do not have the need for bells and whistles I am looking for a cheap solution but I find it a bit hard to navigate through the recommendations on this and other sites. The ReadyNas is a 2 bay NAS and I guess that RAID is a must. Hto swappable drives is nice to have.
My ReadyNas has been running for years and it has been very reliant. Lately, it does seem to have a speed issue when backing up from my PC. Backups are primarily data (limited storage needs) and photos (large storage needs)
Is the QNAP TS-233, Terramaster F2-223 or the Synology DS223j the best choice? Or is it worth the extra dollars to go to DS224/DS224+? I have read reviews for some time now but I just don't think I have the necessary knowledge to make a good decision. Any help is appreciated.
