I am new to NAS and looking at both 2-bays and 4-bays and really not sure which to use...most here using how many bays? Does the Synology come with HDD or do I have to purchase it separately? Any hdd to recommend to use if I were to purchase? Sorry for the noob questions..
Deciding on your need, then you can select the number of bays required:

I started off with a 2-bay ds212j before the current ds414 as my storage need increases.
Synology NAS does not comes with hard disk. WD Red is recommended.
Recently i keep having problems connecting to my NAS at home from my notebook in office. Anyone knows what could be the reason/s?
There are too many thing in between your NAS at home and accessing from office. Without any info, kinda hard to offer advice.
In the past, are you able to access from office? If yes, check if your company changes security suite or firewall setting that result you unable to access?
No, DSM does not support exFAT.
Instead, connect your exFAT HDD to your Mac to transfer files to/from the NAS.

Damn! Thanks for the suggestion. I guess this is the only way around this now. Will be slow transferring files this way but no choice.
FxxK! OSX doesn't support NTFS & NAS don't support exFat!!
i start off with D-Link 2 bay, 4 bay then to Synology 5 bay and now using my D-Link as a backup NAS to my Synology.
Does not come with HDD. Will recommend anything but seagate. Personally i am using Toshiba HDD because it is cheap and so far... it is durable enough for my usage pattern (have been using for more than 3 years with no issue)

I use my nas to download some BT files. Will my nas Hdd die faster ?
Thank you for your input...I am considering getting DS214Play or DS415Play...or just wait for a refresh of the DS214Play...I think 2 bay would be sufficient for me...
Planning to run SHR in your 2-bay NAS? If so, get higher capacity HDDs.
What is the Raid in NAS...sorry, I am a tech idiot...another question, my mother would occasionally off the router when she about to go out and no one is at home...will the NAS be affected by the disconnnection from the internet?
