Hello, I have seen a few of your videos on YouTube that are great.
I'm looking to set up a new NAS. And have 2 questions about future upgrade options and performance.
I'm going for a 4 bay Synology DS920+
I'm also set on 4 x 4TB IronWolf Drives
I'm looking at a 2 disk fail tolerance with RAID 6 or Synology SHR-2 giving me 8TB usable space.
Will using SHR-2 with 4 identical drives give me the same speed performance as RAID 6? is it only when using different drives together you see a performance drop when using SHR-2?
If I go with RAID 6 can later upgrade the drives to say 4 x 8TB Drives, replacing 1 Drive every 6 months in the expectation of after all 4 bays are populated with the 8TB drives I can increase my usable space to 16TB?
Thanks.
