Hi everyone. I want to upgrade my Synology NAS from a 2bay DS216+ to a 4 bay unit. Synology has quite a few 4 bay models and I am struggling to understand the differences, and which one makes the most sense for me.
Setup: wired GB ethernet, 2-3 iMacs and the odd laptop as clients. Storage is about 12-14 TB of photos. Capture One catalogs are on separate SSD drives so I can move between computers using the same catalog. The NAS is also the backup destination for the various computers for non-photographic files. I want to move to a more robust RAID configuration hence going for a 4 bay unit.
Should I expect major speed differences in accessing raw files on the NAS from different models?
Any help appreciated!
