Re: [PLUG] NAS System suggestions

I cannot remember what Synology model you have: a) If you have ARM based model - than the file system is most likely ext4 b) if you have one of the + models with intel CPU then it is likely btrfs On the client/PC you are using it as network files system SMB/NFS depending how you mounted it. So

Re: [PLUG] NAS System suggestions

I can highly recommend Synology, DSxxx I use Synology NAS for about 6 years after switching from Netgear Readynas. Compared to what I could build myself and/or Readynas - Synology is faster, has more features, quiet, lower power, cheaper and absolutely trouble free. Having NAS is not free (as

[PLUG] NAS System suggestions

I need a NAS system which includes a two-bay enclosure capable of holding two 6TB drives, and I want to start out with just one 6TB drive. From my research so far I have determined that Western Digital red drives are the best for this application, so the WD WD60EFRX drive is at the top of my list.
