I don't know much about them yet, But I plan on using the 4 nic's and the 2 USB 3.0 (they have terrabytes of media), but it's not ONLY spindle speed, its also 3yr vs 5yr warranty (usually they tend to built better)
From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [NTSysADM] SHR vs Traditional RAID/RED drives Date: Tue, 20 Jan 2015 16:07:27 +0000 Hi, I have a DS214 Play and a DS213L, same OS as the one you’re looking at but with less disks. The SHR seems fine, but then I never tried anything else. Both have 2x3TB WD reds in and they are brilliant, low power and close to silent. Your bottleneck is the Ethernet into the back so wouldn’t worry too much about the spindle speed. I *love* my Synology kit and highly recommend them. Gavin Wilby IT Support Engineer From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of J- P Sent: 20 January 2015 16:00 To: NT Subject: [NTSysADM] SHR vs Traditional RAID/RED drives Hi all, I'm looking to drop one of these in at customer site, https://www.synology.com/en-us/products/DS1815+ I'm curious to know if anyone has elected to use their proprietary raid SHR/SHR2, and if so how it stacks up to traditional raid in terms of performance. And on a separate note , has anyone jumped onto the WD RED "NAS" drives yet? I like the idea of 6TB for 270.00, but not crazy about 54k speed or 3 yr warranty http://www.amazon.com/Western-Digital-3-5-inch-IntelliPower-WD60EFRX/dp/B00LO3KR96/ref=pd_bxgy_pc_text_y however , 226.00 for a 4TB 72k with a 5 year warranty does sit a little better http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00LO3KRM8 any feedback is appreciated SMP Partners Limited, SMP Trustees Limited and SMP Fund Services Limited are licensed by the Isle of Man Financial Supervision Commission.
