Your situation is like mine too:
1. 2-bay Buffalo NAS
2. 2-bay Synology DS212J (Sold)
3. 4-bay Synology DS414

Of course, slow read/write speed of 20mb/s with my 1st Buffalo NAS. Previous Synology DS212J can reach 80/50mb/s in read/write speed.

2. How is Synology NAS as compared to Asustor NAS?

Thanks.

Synology NASes for Windows+OSX no issue for me here.

I can't comment on Asustor as I haven't used. Have used 4 Synology NASes so far since I got my DS106e a long time ago, and am happy with the high level of performance and usability.

Is it cheaper to get the HDDs yourself instead of purchasing as a bundle?

Would highly recommend Amazon.com: Synology America DiskStation 4-Bay Diskless Network Attached Storage (DS414): Computers & Accessories. Reading and writing speeds are great and can connect multiple USB hard drives and printers at the same time.

I am still new to this but I can't get its video and music app for iOS to work. Any advice?

You need to install the corresponding apps in the package centre first. Then load the content up via the apps in the control panel

Hi guys,

New to Nas here. Currently using ds214+ with 1* 4tb n 1* 500gb.

Like to check if both disk is running on separate volume (SHR) that will be pointless right? Will using JSOB be better in my case?

Also if in SHR, if I swapped out my HDD (e.g. 4TB) will data inside still be readable when it is put back?

Sorry, SHR is kinda confusing for me.

Thanks

I was exploring the DSM 5.0 and in one of the features it says change or recommended the IP dynamic to static IP.
May I know how is this possible as the ISP is on dynamic.
