I have used a Synology DS215J at home for a number of years with no problem. I have 2 x WDC WD30EFRX-68EUZNO 2.7TB hard drives which are still working fine and show as "healthy"
I am looking to get another NAS in order to be able to run PLEX, a VPN and ADBLOCK since I am no longer able to update DSM past version 6.2.
I was thinking of maybe a 4 four bay NAS so that I could utilise my existing 2 hard drives at first and then purchasing 2 more at a later date as funds allow. Is this feasible with such old drives? And if so what would you recommend? I managed to set up the 2 drives years ago in a simple RAID setup in order to mirror each other but I am a NOOB really, so ease of setup would be good.
I need to have a fairly easy load, in that I back up all mt documents, files and media straight to the NAS and do not keep much on my PC or Laptop.
TIA
