Hi Guys, thank you for all your support and advice it’s been very helpful. I’m moving from a Drobo 5N2 and have decided to choose a Synology Nas. I’ve been looking at the DS1821+ and want to use SHR so I can partly populate it with some of my existing WD red pro NAS drives which are only a couple of years old. After seeing the new DS 1821XS I thought I may have gone for this but discovered it doesn’t support SHR. Do you think this means Synology won’t be bringing out an upgraded 8 bay DS1821+ box supporting SHR in the near future? I know this is a bit of a guessing game with Synology but wondered if you may have heard any rumours or have any advice. I’ve waited a year so far but will have to upgrade soon. Many thanks Sandy.
