Recommendation of new NAS? - Enquiries - 02-28-2020
Hi Mr Andrews,
We are currently using a Synology DS215+ (bought in 2015) with 2 pcs of HGST DESKSTAR NAS HDD , 3.5" 4TB 7200RPM 64MB 3
CACHE SATA HDD. The disk usage is currently at 30% on RAID 1. We are using an external HDD casing with another 4TB HGST DESKSTAR NAS HDD as backup. The NAS is getting a little slow for our liking.
The HDD are working fine and the DSM shows them as "Normal".
We are using the NAS to store documents and PDF/CAD drawings. No multimedia (FHD/4K/8K), VM, surveillance required at the moment.
Do you have any recommendations to upgrade this NAS?
BTW, we are a SME (small-medium enterprise).
PS: Resource monitor showing swap in/out data as 0 kb/s (in and out) , Total: 2Gb, Used: 109.6 MB, Utilization: 5%.

You will very likely need something with 10GbE or at least multiple LAN ports. I would recommend looking at TS-251B/ TS-253Be / TS-453Be.I hope this helps.
