What network storage is better?

Question

Iron

I want to buy network attached storage (NAS) for my home.
The main criteria are noiselessness, low energy consumption, high access speed.
Synology has the best reviews, but here's what's interesting.
The simplest NAS from Synology costs (in DNS) 8699 rubles. without HDD, and, for example, WD MyCloud costs 9199r. from HDD to 2 TB.
It turns out that WD is much more profitable. What are the advantages of Synology that justify its price?
What other options can you advise (except how to build it yourself)?

Answer 1

HPE ProLiant MicroServer - you can install any software, including for organizing a NAS, but it's still a full-fledged powerful server, although the last two versions are anally fenced :(.
Synology - good software and hardware (the second one is debatable, since everyone else has - exactly the same, but cheaper)
Thecus - good hardware, software, well, also good
Qnap - the same hardware, good software
WD - who knows who says the software is good, who praises the hardware
All of them, especially Sino, have a lot of additional applications (and in Sino they are snickering and more and more paid ones are being introduced)
though the first one is not quite a repository, but they are constantly being built on its basis, wildly popular :)
In short, choose, I don’t want to.

Answer 2

I put three WDs in three different places, silent, the first one has been working for more than 3 years without any complaints. In general, for the price / quality I recommend.

Answer 3

The life cycle of a nas is very long. Over 5 years. You need to take something that regularly updates the firmware. I have ix2-dl. Unkillable crap with many corporate features. download.lenovo.com/lenovoemc/eu/ru/app/answers/de... Update sheet. In no case do not take lengths. They are updated year after year. Everything else is up to you.

Answer 4

wd is good precisely because of the presence of disks in the kit, as well as the simplicity of the software
, but the disks themselves are not very good, and there are glitches that the box turns into a brick is the
best - qnap and sino
qnap has silent models - with passive cooling of the case,
if you put ssd inside, then silence absolute
