Recommend me a Synology NAS Drive

[maxrebo]

I'm looking to buy an affordable Business NAS drives to store our Virtual machines on, I used a Synology Rackstation in my previous role, which worked really well.

Is anyone using any they could recommend?

 

Thanks

I cant fault Synology stuff. I've used the Diskstation DS423+ for the past 3 years, zero problems. Holds 4 Drives, x2 1GBps LAN ports[h=1][/h]

Capacity, IOPs, NIC speeds, RAID level, number of drives, Workload (archiving or running from)?

 

Gonna need a bit more information.

 

The RS3621xs is my current go to, previous versions have been the go-to in the past

Plan to store and run our Hyper V Virtual machines from this.

 

Budget would be around £5K to £6K.

 

We wont need a massive amount of storage as we plan to move all our File shares to Sharepoint.

 

What do you use the RS3621XS for?
