The = two main things that  I would recommend is keeping an eye on the = brand of hard drive and capacity

- depending on brand and model some series are simply better. = Lower capacity lasts longer:
https://www.backblaze.com/blog/?s=3D%22hard+drive+stats%22<= /div>

- if you go = too big on hdd capacity rebuild times for a newly inserted hdd could = take many days which will make a raid 5 extremely vulnerable and raid 6 = too.

Lately I = prefer raid1 enclosures if the total available capacity doesn't have to = surpass 12-15TB

Hi all,

I=E2=80=99m looking to = make my home setup a bit more professional and at some point I will get = a NAS.  I retired my Drobo a few years ago but I am guilty of = cluttering my desk with a bunch of external hard drives and I want = something a bit more substantial for the future.
  
For those who=E2=80=99ve = already bought a NAS, beyond the basic question of brand (probably = Synology or Qnap), I=E2=80=99d appreciate any insight on features that I = should consider or that might catch me out if they=E2=80=99re not in = cheaper models.

My initial thoughts are:

- at least 6 or 8 bays
- redundancy (ie RAID)
- 2 1/2=E2=80=9D = bays - preferably optimised for flash drives only
- = 10 gig Ethernet for future proofing
- easy to = expand.  Will probably start with a few drives and add more over = the years
- Mac & Windows - if that=E2=80=99s = even still an issue these days
- Built in Wifi = (?)

Anything = else?  When I bought my Drobo over 10 years ago, the main feature = was its ability to mix different drive sizes.  Not sure if that=E2=80= =99s something which has spread to other brands.

I=E2=80=99d like to think I=E2=80=99ll = never have to purchase another spinning hard drive again, so the entry = level FS model from Synology looks interesting but expensive:

https://www.synology.com/en-global/products/FS1018

This Qnap is cheaper = but with different features:

https://www.qnap.com/en-au/product/tvs-882st3

All advice is = welcome!
