So i want to do a large uograde to my “homelab” but since i dont want to spent 1200€ on an empty synology nas and another 1200€ on hdd, i saw this on amazon (sorry site is dutch) I have a synology ds416play with 40tb and want to use this new one with 80tb hdds and a lenovo m600 i5 attached with some nas software. Probably running on mint linux (no linux expert, heared this was the most newby friendly). Would this be good enough? Or should i just buy a synology rs1221rp+ My network just got expanded also to 2.5g internet and 10gbit network. There is so much out there that cant choose.
EDIT: tnx. Didnt need a lot of convincing but the usb is the killer. So gonna look further.
EDIT 2: thanks for all the advise and tips!! :)
Why are you upgrading? Is it to take advantage of the 10g network speeds?
Because. Well, space…. Cant really delete anything and it just keeps getting bigger and bigger. And if i have to search through a lot of files and other things in my house and studio have to do this also, i like to get rid of the network bottleneck. And, well its going to be more and more multiGig routers and switches. And i like speed :)
