Hi Robbie,
...by way of introduction, I'm think you're the Robbie (from span.com) who sold me a TS-435Bmini in 2017. I also got 4x8TB WD Red drives and a TR-004 NAS expansion (to put the 4TB drives I had from my earlier NAS (I think a TS-410) as a backup.
I like the 453Bmini but it keeps rattling and I have to regularly whack it on the top to stop it and, after 7 Years, I've had enough of it. Btw, is this a common issue - do you know how to permanently fix it - i've tried many things from foam pads to weights, etc.
Regardless after 7 Years, my drive is filling up I need to upgrade the drives and I was wondering what my drive and/or NAS upgrade options are. I do use the NAS for backups and data storage, but it needs to run Plex as well.
I've only ever had QNAP but am open to Synology and other companies if they are reliable etc.
If it helps, I use Macs at home.
Thanks in advance for your thoughts (again).
James.
