Qnap or Synology

Posted by: Milija on 01 June 2015

I am looking for new NAS.

 

What is better, Qnap 212P or Sinology DS214se?

 

If you have better idea in this price range, please advice me.

 

Thanks.

Bart, I have 2 x 3TB WD Reds in my HS-251 and yes it is silent apart from a short beep when you switch on and a longer one to say it is ready. Although I have mine in my office away from the listening room, you could have it very close to your system with no problem from noise whatsoever.

Ditto Michael. Mine's approximately 1.325 metres away from my left ear as I sit here at my 'puter, and it's as quiet as a very quiet thing. Not used for music though, just for backup & storing lots of movies to use with PLEX.
