First, my network will upgrade to 2.5G Wan. An intranet is a 10GbE connection between Mac Mini with OWC 10GbE with a wifi router. And now I'm using the Drobo 5C ( I have 6 pcs of 3TB HDD) and want to replace him with NAS.
For this NAS, I hope it will:
1: For Mac Mini ext-drive storage doc, photo and video in Raid 5 and a time machine,
2: Sync the Baidu online cloud for backup.
3: Replace and sync google drive for accessing my business catalogues.
4: Storage the music in NAS and play it in Mac Mini.
5: Easy to upgrade the HDD size in the future.
Now I am looking at DS1621+ and TS-832PX, which are nearly identical in price.
1: DS1621+ without 10Gbe after add the second hand X540-T2 the price still in my budget.
2: Qnap, is it still easily a hack? (this very important because I don't want to waste time and money)
3: In my case, will 4gb run enough? If not, Synology needs ECC ram. It may be a little bit over budget.
Or you can advise the cheaper NAS that can fit my use. Thanks.
