NAS recommendation for U1
Hi there,
I want to upgrade my nas currently using Synology DS216+ 4TB WD Red and running out of space.
What would be an upgrade NAS available? do solid-state drive in nas sound better than the 3.5 WD drive?
Thanks in advanced

Re: NAS recommendation for U1
Going to a Synology with larger capacity would let you use the Synology Migration Assistant to move your data over. Personally I'd go for traditional platter-based NAS drives, like the Western Digital Red series, for cost purposes.

Re: NAS recommendation for U1
You may be able to change the HDD to 2 x 8TB without upgrading the NAS hardware.
If you want to upgrade the NAS anyway, check out a fanless NAS such as QNAP HS-453DX.
You might spend the money elsewhere (such as fiber isolation and/or LPS) instead of paying the higher price of SSD.Peter Lie

Re: NAS recommendation for U1
Thank you Peter for your response, looks like I won't gain any performance upgrading to a new NAS. I will take your advice and install a bigger hard drive
Your suggestion with 2 x 8TB set up as RAID?

Re: NAS recommendation for U1
Mirror or not, that's up to you for your needs.
The max capacity is a little confusing. Official Synology web site seems to indicate your NAS with a 64bit CPU can support a volume over 16TB (with a sufficiently recent version of Synology DSM):
DiskStation Manager - Knowledge Base | Synology Inc.
But the original specs of your NAS indicate 8TB x 2 only:

I believe, but not 100% sure, larger than 16TB should work and the 2016 spec was outdated.Peter Lie

I have the same NAS as you and upgraded it to have two 10TB drives. Easy upgrade.

Backup your data on the NAS, pull out the old drives, put in the new drives, prepare/format the new drives using Synology utility, and restore your data

Re: NAS recommendation for U1
You probably don't need to backup the data somewhere else: Replace Drives to Expand Storage Capacity. Note that the Repair action can take a long time, and you just need to wait. I think it took over a day per new larger hard disk when I last did this, but my original hard drives were larger than 4TB each.

I upgraded the power supply on my Gigafoil v4 to a Weiss PSU 102. It’s very nice step up. But with the new model, you’re looking at $2000 before even investing in a SOTA linear power supply.
