Ok, I am now equipped with 2 new WD red drives.
Time, I think, for a NAS upgrade (from my current Synology DS212+).
I am thinking QNAP so I can run Asset.
The TS-253A looks ok, right?
4GB or 8GB version?
(Amazon says it's a 2015 model. Should I wait for a newer model - there's no particular rush...?)

That's what I've got and it's excellent. Built like a tank. Not sure what memory it's got though. Once set up, you can back it up by pressing a button on the front. I got mine from Broadband Buyer, who were really helpful and efficient.

The 453 series are excellent. I have a TS-453Pro which is a 4 bay version.
You don't need the extra memory unless you intending to use the NAS for other things like VM's or the many applications that can be installed.

Thanks - it's just for music. I'll probably go for the 4GB version then.
(One day when I actually have some time I'll work out how to rip DVDs to a (different) NAS. In my dreams.)
