Hi,
Looking at replacing my old Buffalo Linkstation - it's only 500GB but I don't need that much.
Thinking of going to 2TB which is loads or maybe as much as 4TB which is ginormous.
So figure I only need a single drive NAS with an attached USB drive for backup.
So have been looking at the Buffalo 510 but I gather they use economy WD Green drives which doesn't appeal to me. The WD MyCloud uses WD Red drives which is good but that NAS is pretty slow in terms of transfer speed.
So looking at the Synology - it would be extra money which I could afford. Now the single drive 115j looked great, a little bit more but not hugely so, but then I noticed that it only has USB 2.0 compared with 3.0 on the linkstation.
There is the dual disk 216j which does have USB 3.0 but is a fair amount more and I would only want to put one drive in it.
What do you think?
Cheers,
Nigel
