I'm 41% full with 4 WD Red 4TB drives using all four slots, running RAID5. It's exclusively for 85K track music library and hard wired to a TP-Link switch, along with a Sonictransport i5 as Roon Core, and opticalRendu>>Denafrips Pontus II>BAT pre>>Krell Amp>> Soundlab ESLs. During some recent troubles with my Roon db and intermittent library drops, Andrew at SGC did a remote support call and observed that my NAS is running pretty slow, which could have been a contributing factor. After deleting the Roon DB and software and starting again with a fresh build, everything is back to great...for now. I did some research and the DS1621+ and M.2 cache is the new object of desire. For the moment, there's no need, but what's good advice on how to monitor the long term viability of the DS415+ and any insights on at what point it will need replacement? I'm not concerned with storage availability in the short run, but I want to have solid reliability so that whenever I grab the Roon Remote, I can be confident of quick library browsing and playback without any connectivity drops, creating brief headaches like Roon messaging "that album has been deleted from your library", then playing it a few seconds later. FWIW, I'm more of a stereo geek than a computing enthusiast, so no interest in building/coding Linux/DIY. If I make an upgrade, it will likely be to another Synology to limit my learning curve. Thanks! It’s a NAS, wouldn’t worry until it obsolesces for software support. Just need an external backup in case of random HW death R1200CL and Kal Rubinson 2 Regards, Dave Audio system Link to comment
