Nas for Backup, Photostation and Vodeostation

#1
Hello Nas-Compare Team,

at the moment I am running a Synology DS116 with 1 HDD size 6TB.
I have got already 2 Toshiba N300 NAS HDDs each with 10TB.

With my one Bay NAS i am afraid of a HDD failure, so i want a 2 or 4 bay NAS.
I want to use the NAS although to connect it via iSCSI to my Intel NUC with VMware ESX Hypervisor running.

I have a look at the following two Synology NAS (DS220+ and DS420+)

Which NAS System would you adcise?

Best regards
Lang

Practically any NAS will support iSCSI https://www.synology.com/en-global/dsm/p...search=scs
Having two-bay model such as DS218+ will enable a wide range of functionality. This included spanshots, server backups and more.
If you go for ds420+, you can leave few bays empty for future expansion. Or you can set up hot spare/cache.
Having a one bay system is just a matter of time when that drive fails.
