ReadyNas NV+ V2 4 bay questions
Hello :D I am looking to purchase either the ReadyNas NV+ V2 4 bay or the Synology Ds413(j) in the next few days, but I would appreciate some clarification before I make a final decision. I ha...
honcho - I guess the old adage of 'beggars cant be choosers' springs to mind!
Dropping $380 on a NAS when one was in the store looking at me for $200 is pretty hard - in the long run though I think the Synology may have been the better route.
I ended up buying 2Tb drives (WD20EARX) as the "approved" drives from the HCL were slim pickings and larger cap "approved" drives too expensive.
As of yet, I have not got them installed as after I put them in the NAS the LCC counts started rising v quickly - this is a known problem with WD drives and the synology suffers from it too...however I think the "approved" HCL list for Synology is larger which would have given me more choice to find the right drive within my budget.
If you are not in a hurry to buy, it may be worth waiting a little to see if Synology ever drop their price...you get what you pay for.
