Hi
I have a Synology DS920+ (with three 8TB hard disks in a RAID5 configuration) used for archiving and a little work on stills images and some Video (not 4K For now?), The data is backed up on an external HDD.
I was thinking of purchasing a NAS to save movies and TV shows (with Plax) and physical backup to my Dropbox account.
I prefer to distinguish between my work\arcive NAS and my other data, but I'm debating between adding the DX517 extension and a DS420+ or DS423
my questions
1. Will it be wise to install DX517 as an extension for my DS920+ instead of buying a new NAS (DS420+, DS423)?
2. I have a free Bay in my DS920+, can I use it with the five bays (of the DX517) to make one partition? or should it be at one NAS\extension?
3. can I add another HDD with the same volume as the three at the DS920+ and combine it with the Raid5 that exists?
Thanx in advance
