Hello. I plan to buy a Synology DS923+ I will install in it 2 mechanical 3TB hdd from another custom built NAS. This is my first time using a out of the box solution like synology.
My question is, what caching should I use? Read only or Write also? And what caching media should I use? NVMe or regular sata SSDs?
It will be used:
- mostly for business work. I plan to work directly on the NAS, not just for storage and backup. Mostlye web development work, this would mean accessing the files a lot. I will not run services on it.
- a home assistant installation
- a plex media server for streaming locally, so no enncoding needed.
- maybe some docker containers that will run some websites or software
What do you think? Is the DS923+ a good solution or should I have gone with the QNAP TS-464. From what I understand the software on the synology would be more user friendly and better.
Thank you.
