I am about to take the plunge and replace my current NAS with a DS1512+ from Synology. I am aware of the issues they had with restarts but they supposedly have found the issue (bad flash RAM) and fixed the issue. I plan on populating it using the new WD Red (3TB) drives.
I have seen mention that the price on the drives is ~180-190 but the prices I have seen are a lot more than that, times 5 it gets to be a fair chunk of change. I have seem them at NewEgg of $260 and Amazon for $230 (when they had them). NewEgg also had a limit of two. So, does anyone know of any place I can get 5 of these for a decent price? I want reliability and I think these are the best drives available for that, would love to hear any thoughts on my selections too. It is a lot of money for a NAS and I want to make sure that I am making the right choice.
