  NAS for Audio?
Posted by: Enquiries - 02-28-2020, 03:37 PM - Forum: Before you buy Q&A - Replies (2)

Hi,

I'm looking for a NAS drive, it's mainly for audio, I'll be using FLAC (24 bit hi res) files, I want to control it from my iPad and play via my Denon DRA-800H stereo receiver.

I know that Synology audio station, but I wondered if QNAP or Terramaster have equivalents, especially with Terramaster have a 4 bay for the same price as the Synology 218+.

I'll also be backing up my macbook via timemachine.

Thanks in advance.

Paul

  Synology, VPN, 10-20 users?
Posted by: Enquiries - 02-28-2020, 03:37 PM - Forum: Before you buy Q&A - Replies (2)

Hi,

we're having a small office with 10 users and currently we're using a DS218+ with 2x2TB HDD (mirrored) since 2015. The main usage is VPN server, file storage (mostly smaller office documents), file versioning & backup/sync to another DS using CloudStation.

We're now planning to add up to 10 more users and would like to know which way to go with the DS. Atm there are two main issues:
- speed in the network file shares: when all users access file shares at the same time, the performance drops
- the VPN server can only support up to 5 simultaneous connections: in the future we might need about 15 ...

For the VPN issue I see only using a more powerful DS, or do you think a hack like this (https://serverfault.com/a/803532) would work in the mid/long term? How can I find out which DS supports 15+ parallel VPN connections?

For the file share performance: would it be a good advise to replace the existing HDDs with SSDs (e.g. WD Red, Seagate IronWolf)?

If we opt for buying a new NAS, my initial idea would be a DS718+ or DS918+. The later would allow to use SSD Cache + the existing HDD - how would that compare to using SSDs in the DS218+ / DS718+ from a performance point of view?


Thanks a lot for your great site in general and the particular advice on this topic!

Regards
M
