Dear Nascompares Team,
I need your advice, requirements are: Home NAS 2 users (couples), using SSD-only. Daily use 08:00–00:00, using it for file storage, I only play 1080p movies on Plex, Windows map network drive, no ethernet cable, all via wifi.
Prior issue: bought DS923+ (12/2023) with buzzing/coil whine from rear at power-on, which happened after almost 2 years; replacement under warranty DS923+ was worse than the one I had, coil whining louder; returned and requested refund. Tests done: fan speed changes, different sockets/rooms, stopped fans, nodrive installed, noise persisted, confirmed coil whine.
Needs: low risk of coil whine, quiet operation, long-term DSM/security support, minimal setup friction (prefer QuickConnect). Please recommend a suitable NAS for my needs. Preferably, avoid the coil whine issue.
Thank you in advance
Kind regards,
Hamza
