I think your assumption will cover majority of the use cases.

Still a local NAS can be useful even if the data is less than 2TB because the desire to have a local copy. Cloud providers can be down as well and you can also accidentally delete the files.

But all in all, I guess I do not need a 4 bay NAS since the local data will not exceed 4TB in the foreseeable future, probably a two bay DS220+ will do. But still I will explore other DIY option first.

If you wanna get a NAS, better to go for the 4 bays one. Gives you more flexibility.

question current NAS put in computer room which have 1 net work cable connected

if i put it in living room and connect 2 ports to network switch, would the transfer speed in the network be faster ?

finally decided to get a new nas, ds420+ and 2x8 TB Toshiba N300 tomorrow

found that dynacore sell ds420+ cheapest but their HDD is not cheapest, will ask them if they can match trade pac price for toshiba n300 7200rpm or else might have to go to 2 different place to get the items

Buy from Amazon.com. Seagate got international warranty. I bought my x16s from Amazon.com

I am thinking to buy theDS920+ after reading through this forum,

about the HDD,

as the data from my computer is 4.1 TB

i am thinking to get 2 x 6 TB and set up at SHR1 and then 1 x 8 TB as standalone,

then after it is all setup, I will transfer my files from computer to the 2x 6TB and then make a copy in the 8 TB, is it okay plan ? or i am missing something ?

or the 8TB should be an external one which i periodically power up and backup from my 2 x 6TB ?

finally bought the DS920+ and 2x 8TB, WD HGST and total damage is 1510 from Bizgram,

Tradepac no stock and need to check, went to Bizgram and less than 20mins, i am carrying my spoils home already.

cheap but no stock, is kinda of gimmick ?

but Bizgram wont budget about giving discount even i show them other place cheaper than them, but what to do,

You can't expect Tradepac tiny shop to stock everything listed. If you can wait, they will pull stock from other shops.

This has always been sim lim sq. “no stock’s price”. this has been going on for decades. If I’m not wrong this bad habit is even brought onto lazada and shopee platform now.

Agreed. Especially the disk size is so large now. Getting a 2 bay machine and run mirror is not quite price effective.

Newbie here, can I know why nobody is talking about DS720+? I am pounding between this model or the ds220+

These are 2-bay NAS, lose 50% capacity in SHR or RAID 1, not a cost effective solution.

How about ds420+, in term of cost effective n performance.

DS420+ is fine. SHR capacity is N-1 where N is the number of same capacity drive for 3 disks and above.
