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,

I agree, and disagree with the above. If you want a NAS just for music, there are better ways get that done. If, however, you use the NAS for further server applications then it can make more sense. Overall, I’m very happy with my NAS, but straight up, it’s a pretty constant job to keep it well maintained. Plus, they are pretty noisy. YMMV
