Drobo5N is a completely different beast compared to earlier units. I can transfer 20GB in under a couple minutes over network. ReadyNAS NV+ v1 is about 4-5x that and the v2 6-7x that

I mix and match different sizes and it works just fine. Before that I had a drobo. Great features but super slow performance. Gave that to my brother in law as a gift and he uses that till today. I don't think I could deal with traditional raid. Having all same size drives would be a bear to upgrade. It's funny. Almost every bay in my synology has a different brand, size and rotation speed. Everything just works and works well. If the synology ever dies I'm never going to switch to another brand. Love the web os of synology and they keep on improving the interface and adding features. I barely use most of them. I just have an antivirus running and do torrents from the synology. I've set it up with ddns so I can add torrents from my phone wherever I am and once I come home it's sitting there for me ready to consume. What more could I want. I also haven't used port teaming to double the bandwidth to 2Gbps.
