OK I run a number of Squeezebox devices in my home and currently have an
original Netgear Readynas which has been superb - unbelievably stable
and reliable and currently runs 2x 2tb drives in it.

We use the server for photos, films and all sorts of other stuff as well
as all my ripped flac music.

We're running out of storage on the server and this readynas cannot use
drives larger than 2TB apparently.

I'm thinking of buying another NAS drive and am tempted to stick with
Netgear - maybe a 212 or even 214 to give greater future proofing of
capacity - I do some professional photography, models etc and so have a
lot of photos to store.  

I'm also open to changing brand though - perhaps Synology if people
think they are significantly better.

It seems that running squeezebox server on some of the more recent NAS
drives can be problematic with installs and configuration so can anybody
recommend which to buy?

I guess another option might be to buy a second NAS drive and use the
new one for photos and films and keep my existing readynas just for
music.  If I was able to move all the movies and photos from the old NAS
then it's 2x 2TB drives would be more than big enough for all my future
FLAC/Squeezebox requirements and as I say it seems to be a robust little
unit actually.

I'd welcome thoughts from any experts!
