Just ordered my new Synology DS 414 4Bay NAS

[GeorgeO]

It's just been shipped to my son and have to figure out how to get across here. I have got my first two 4TB drives across to Bangalore through a mule, will get another two more later to fully populate it. I expect to have it up and running sometime in the next quarter. In the meantime my Synology 213 is working like a charm.

Got it and loaded the four 4TB HDDs and have got it up and running today. Its a lot simpler to set up and get running than the ReadyNAS units(ive owned two of them so I know). I'm dumping various backed up files into it using the USB 3.0 jacks on the rear.

Does anyone know where to look for these in Hong Kong, reliable and efficient places.

If you are buying now, take a look at the new qnap 51 series. It is much more suited for media playback with really good transcoding support.

Thanks Rahul but will really stick to Synology, they have some great reviews and user experiences.

I reviewed some QNap models but the reviews were not positive.

I am really contemplating on going from 2 bay synology to 4 bay qnap.

My main reason is to eliminate the computer I am running as plex server.

I my planed move to dedicated home theater, I started acquiring very high quality videos. But unfortunately these are not compatible with my TV, Chromecast, etc. So now often I end up running another computer as plex server.

Going with qnap will eliminate it. At the same time I am running out of space in my 2 Bay Nas.

Thanks
