Most definitely, BUT right now I have eight 4TB drives in my unit and
eventually will have eight 10TB drives in it. Once you get used to having

Can't you just get bigger drives? They are up to 8TB drives now and
the two drive unit has a USB3 plug in as well as a ESATA plug in.

I agree. Go with the best model you can afford because once you get used to
having one you'll wish you had more space. I have the DS1815+. Mine went

Synology is simply the best. I think it should be enough for your needs.

I am not sure what you would gain by using a NAS instead of your main

slowdown that you want to offload?

for gaming and daily use. The other is a file server, bit
