Love the NAS advice videos - really great!
I would really appreciate advice on best size drives to buy from NAS forum.
I am thinking of buying Synology ds1522+ NAS.
Currently have ds 223+ with 2 2 TB drives nearly full in raid 1. Old but works well.
My Aim is get new set up that's is not too noisy as in home office and scalable - at least raid 1 and preferably raid 5 or even 6.
To Use Synology Office, Plex & other apps plus data backups.
Are 10 or 16TB sata drives much noisier than 8TB's ( x 2 drives in a nas)?
To start me off with a new NAS 1522+, I was wondering about either 2 x 8 TB Seagate wolf Pro drives or possibly 2 x 10 or even 2 x 16 TB drives
(Minimum I would need would be 2 x 4TB).
Or 3 x 4 or 8 or 10 TB sata drives if better for raid 5.
Would be really grateful for advice as pretty new to NAS and latest options.
Excuse giving lots of options. Hope you can help.
Thanks, Paul
