Thanks for the opinion on Synology, echoing what Ron said. I think I'll
continue using it, and just replace the disks.
I'm fixin' to buy a couple of 16TB WD Gold drives, that is, if I can
find anyone who has them in stock.
And that is, unless I hear from someone here that the WD 16TB Gold is a
bad idea.
Last I heard WD Gold was discontinued which would explain why they
appear to be out of stock. For a small NAS you probably want to look at
WD Red or Seagate Ironwolf. Both have decent longevity but since you are
running RAID0 you are rolling the dice regardless of what you buy.
As for RAID0, I want to re-iterate what Tomas pointed out. RAID0 does
not offer you any benefit and will result in losing 100% of your data
when a single disk fails. JBOD or SPAN will function exactly the same
without putting your data at risk.
My recommendation is that you go with NAS branded disks running at
5400RPM. When you install them Synology should provide a JBOD or SPAN
option that will work just as before without scaring the living snot out
of everyone on this list.
