I have tried everything from just using Windows Server to any kind of NAS software I could find. I finally came across FreeNAS and I really liked it; however, little things started popping up. I was starting to get worried about the OS and not the data. I tried multiple types of flash drives (recommended hardware), they all started to give me errors. Just when I had enough I actually got hands-on with a small Synology box at a law office. It was so easy to setup and keep running, I was kind of amazed. So I started looking into a bigger one for the company I work for, and the DS1513+ (8gb ram) was the one that fit the bill. So if you are looking for a high quality NAS unit that you don't need another degree just to program it... then this is your NAS!
Love Synology units in general - SHR Raid and the user interface works for techy and non techy users alike - AD integration is a big plus. all round good units.
We use Synology harware quite a lot ; 4 bay or 2 bay devices. They all use the Linux based DSM firmware, with is very easy to understand (altough some fonctionalities are a bit hidden, like DHCP server ). We use the DS1513+ as a NAS for backing up Hyper-V VMs (together with Altaro software). Fast trasnfert speeds when setup with aggregated LAN interfaces and large MTU. Realiable and affordable hardware for SMB's. I can recommand !
What is the best RAID for my Server and NAS?
