Hi there,
I have a synology from 2013 which has served me well. A 4 bay. However, its time for the upgrade. Looking at the TVS-H674. My end use is going to be database management and confidential client record backup, storage and hosting as well as a plex server that runs around the house and maybe when im away from time to time. I am set up for 2.5G network in the home. My question is as follows: Do i get 2X1tb M.2 drives for Cache and then all Plex and operating system goes onto there then shall i fill the bays with the 4 10tb iron wolf drives i have which leaves me 2 spare bays for storage or, should i look to get 4tb SATA SSD's for the storage to make the system quieter and quicker? Other than cost, would there be any disadvantages to this? Apologies if this is a newb question, i havent looked into any of this stuff since early 2013.
