Hey there,
Found a few articles on your site about DAS devices. I've been internet sleuthing for a while to try to find the best options and feel like I'm almost there. Let me set some context first.
So, I live in a condo, two TVs, both with some Plex Client (Roku or Shield).
I have an Intel NUC running Windows that runs Plex, Torrenting software, and Backblaze.
My current storage is a 4 drive Mediasonic Proraid device with a setup of 16TB in a RAID 0 configuration (yikes, I know).
I want to keep a hardware RAID on the DAS, rather than having Windows do a Software RAID mostly because I don't trust Windows to do that for me.
I'm looking to get a new DAS device, but am stuck in decision paralysis. My current options are:
- Another Mediasonic Proraid
- QNAP TR004
- Drobo 5C
For Drives I'm looking to get 4x10TB WD Red Pro's.
I was just about to buy the QNAP TR004 and then I found some folks complaining about read/write speed and now I'm back to the drawing board.
