I have been running for a few years with a DS209 as my primary NAS (JBOD) and a D-Link 321 as a backup to that. Now that the DS209 is getting a bit long in the tooth I am considering moving it to a backup role and getting a new Synology NAS as a primary.
The new 215+ or the existing 215j seem like the best choices for me - the remaining 2014 units (214, 214play, 214+) still cost $300 or more, are one year closer to end-of-life, and just don't seems like a good deal. My main use other than backup is to run the Logitech (Squeezebox) music server. Almost all access is over wireless-N (both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz). Is there any reason for me to look at the 215+, or should the 215j meet my needs?
