Which NAS should I choose?


Hi guys,

 

It's just sorta a general wondering, so recently I've been thinking about purchasing a NAS for audio storage and stuff, I used to just simply store music with USB, but I read some articles about NAS, it seems to me that most audiophiles possess one to cooperate with their Hi-Fi gear at home, so maybe it does help further improve the sound quality(?

 

As you all may know, there are several brands of NAS out there, which one is the best fit for me as a NAS newbie haha? Synology and QNAP are quite popular I suppose, but what about others, what's the difference?

 

If you can also kindly share what's your system(like what device you use to connect to NAS) with me, that'd certainly be a great reference to me then.

 

Best,

Use a Synology DS920+ with 48 TB of storage in Raid 5. Seagate exos x16 drives.Use for music, photos, and movies. Works great. It used to support Logitech Media Server, but no longer. Can still run it, but need to do so unsupported. I run my LMS server a d Plex server on my desktop and just point at the NAS. With a Raspberry Pi, makes a great streaming system. Just a reminder that NAS is not a backup. Have a USB drive connected to my router that everything backs up to every night.
