I set one up at the union hall last year. I think that it was the 918+. It seems like overkill for a media server but it would be very good. It was so easy to set up raid. I gave up having all of my discs on drives because I was constantly ripping discs to replace failed drives. The Synology would have been nice.I mentioned a few weeks ago that my NAS took a crap on me, but it worked flawlessly for over 9 years and the drives are still intact, so I can't complain. The flash chip got fubar on the motherboard, and since they don't make the motherboard for my model any longer, I need to get a new one.
I had a 5-bay Synology NAS with 4 2TB drives (the 5th drive was a spare). Synology aren't the cheapest around, but I can say that it was a great investment. I'll get another one when I can, but I just don't feel like dropping that much coin right now.
