Hi,
I am finally upgrading my synology ds214play which I currently use with a plex pass for my media as well as business lap top and home photo/video back ups. I have been waiting for the new 4 bay plus series and have decided on the 423+ with the additional RAM mostly due to integrated graphics. (would have preferred this on the 923+ but hey ho)
To date I have used WD red drives and have found them to be reliable, therefore I was going to use 4 x 6tb wd plus drives in a raid 10 configuration.
My question; I can see that there are two types of wd red drives efpx and efzx, can you tell me which one would be better suited to this system please? the efpx has a larger cache but slower rpm, are the efpx newer and therefore better? I am I perhaps worrying about nothing?
Many thanks.
Lewis
