Synonology 2 bay units are pretty cheap at the mo
What is it for ?
Music ? = I'm told Qnap are better - 1 bay or 2 bay many TB's are no problem
It has a dashboard QFinder pro to manage the device - shares, Drives, partitions etc
Works with Minim Watch music file sorter outer ?????
Photographs or general storage doesnt really matter I think, PC world would be good

Sorry both - thought I'd replied!
Probably going to go Synology with 2 x 4TB Ironwolf disks. Expensive (c.£350) but I've had 12 years out of the previous drive (Buffalo Linkstation Pro Duo).
OR I might put 2 x 2TB (max possible) drives in the old NAS - £130. I don't stream or anything like that.
Anyway it'll give me something to think about for 14 days lockdown....will delivery drivers be exempt?

Yes I purchased a Synology two drive system just before Christmas, the software is very friendly to use and you can run up cameras off them but must pay a license fee for more than two cameras.
I did see a post elsewhere about software that allows a user to run the Synology software on a home built multi drive system.

Have one of these if of interest ?
I’ve got one of these - which you can have if you cover the postage ?
I’ve upgraded several times, used this and it was very reliable, hasn’t been used for a while, I just put it back in the original box.
Think I may have another nas somewhere else, if only I could remember where.

Speak to Jon at Bramley Computers. I think he's selling a Synology one for a reasonable price.
Walowiz - thanks for the offer but your unit is PC only and I have mixed PC & Mac. It's also as old as the unit I'm replacing!
Tuftywhite - he's got a monster DS418 20TB unit for £849 - probably too rich for me! I've emailed him anyway as it might be another unit.
Many thanks for the help everyone.

Heres the software I came across the other day that allows the end user to run synology software on their own hardware which seems kinda cool saving

Thanks again, all.
Tuftywhite - Jon only has the 418.
Still looking/thinking/waiting but distracted by the C19 boll*cks!

Thank you to everyone who gave advice.
Just need to learn how to drive the ruddy thing when it arrives - at least I have plenty of time!
