So i want to do a large uograde to my “homelab” but since i dont want to spent 1200€ on an empty synology nas and another 1200€ on hdd, i saw this on amazon (sorry site is dutch) I have a synology ds416play with 40tb and want to use this new one with 80tb hdds and a lenovo m600 i5 attached with some nas software. Probably running on mint linux (no linux expert, heared this was the most newby friendly). Would this be good enough? Or should i just buy a synology rs1221rp+ My network just got expanded also to 2.5g internet and 10gbit network. There is so much out there that cant choose.
EDIT: tnx. Didnt need a lot of convincing but the usb is the killer. So gonna look further.
EDIT 2: thanks for all the advise and tips!! :)
Or Unraid if you are willing to pay their price, since Unraid is more suitable for Linux newbie.
I will look into that. Doesnt have to be linux but seems most versatile.
Unraid is also based on Linux but it is a lot more user friendly
