We currently use a lot of storage from my home office network & have 4 drobo systems but lately I've been having more connectivity with these devices so thinking of trying something different and have been investigating Synology systems for my next purchase. I was thinking of continuing to use the drobo for backup but using the as a working drive. We use lots of large video & compositing files so hoping that we could have fast readible speeds over our ethernet network. Was looking at the Synology DS220+ 2-Bay NAS Enclosure as we (my wife and I also work in the same business) and we often move from London to Northern Ireland with drives in tow so a smaller system might make sense. On another note I purchased 4x4TB drives from the drobo a few years back and made the mistake of buying Exos Enterprise drives which we not compatible with the Drobo systems. An expensive error at the time but would the Exos drives work on the synology devices. Any suggestions would be very welcome.
