Unless you got coupon to bring down price below $235, you are better off with normal 7200rpm Toshiba 6TB HDD from Tradepac.

Normal is this one?

My NAS cannot be accessed through network any more

No idea if you 411 is the slim or 3.5" type. Most likely is your nas going up lorry. Get another 4-bay Synology NAS slot in the HDD in same sequence.

It is 3.5" type. Bought in 2012.

I'm thinking of getting a Synoloy 1618+ for home NAS. After reading some replies in this thread, it appears that Toshiba X300 is quite reliable while WD Red is a no-no.

I had past bad experience with doing a HDD RMA (can't remember if it's WD or Seagate) but I do remember having to drive all the way to some far out place in Changi to do the RMA process. Hence, ease of RMA would is important for me since I do expect HDD to fail at some point in time.

Is Toshiba X300 overkill as compared to Toshiba N300 for a home NAS just for storing pictures, movies, and backup of working documents? I don't intend to run any I/O intensive programs on the Synology.

Also, can anyone suggest a sweet spot for the HDD capacity with a good balance of $/TB and potential RAID rebuild times during a HDD failure? I'm hoping to start with 2 disks for RAID 1 then progressively expand to RAID 5 (3+1) and RAID 6 (4+2) if future budget permits.

Would advise ds918+ instead of ds1618+ since u have no need for 6 disks bay anyway, for movies, with hardware transcoding capabilities is better, the price point for ds918 also better and since is a + u can expand bay by getting the expansion.

Additionally hdd space so big (16TB) these days.. no need many bays i feel.

Sian liao.. my DS415+ blinking blue LED. Cannot access the DM liao.
This week got IT Show think need to replace it, as no more warranty. Any recommendation? DS1019+ seems ok..

Using WD Red HDD?

 

[beckz]

Yes i m using WD Red

Sent from HUAWEI CLT-L29 using GAGT

 

[vironix]

get some toshibas dude...

WD Reds are bad for health

 

[beckz]

It is the Red that had caused this problem?

 

[fi5hbone]

Likely to be. Toshibas likely to be much more reliable. Especially since HGST has been bought over.

With Toshiba in NAS, do you enable hibernate mode?

 

[Corytu]
