For LMS on NAS I'd recommend WD Red drives in a RAID 5 configuration. The drives are quiet (way, way quieter than the Seagates I made the mistake of trying a few years ago), low power, and plenty fast enough for heavyweight music and HD video streaming. Plus RAID 5 gives you great read performance. If you were doing heavy writes then I'd go for RAID 0+1, but for most things read-related RAID 5 is great. And when you inevitably lose a drive you'll still be protected with no data loss.
I use an SSD for my LMS database and I can scan 20,000 tracks for updates in less than 30s on a Celeron-powered LMS server with a gigabit connection to the NAS. And I like Synology for the NAS devices themselves. Receiver stuck at blue LED state after reboot?
