Hello there. I'm wanting to get a NAS, and I'm looking at getting a Synology 923+ with 2 WD Red Pro drives in maybe the 10-14TB capacity range (leaving the other slots for future expansion if I ever need it. This is likely overkill for me, as realistically, I'm wanting to store my music collection of a few TB, a few TB of photos, and have space for a small business I'm planning on starting (likely some graphics files), but possibly a SQL database.
I'm wanting to set it up in the extra room of our apartment, which doubles as an office/guest room.
I'm a bit concerned about the noise, but I'm assuming I can either shut the NAS down if we have a guest over, or that I can enable some low-power/idle mode for when it's not in use. Does this sound problematic to you from your experience? I haven't had a NAS before, so don't have really anything to base it on (I did have a first generation Drobo). Any help or advice would be appreciate.
Thank-you,
Chris
