In a previous post I told you about how I got a Synology DS920+ on loan to play around with. The device comes with 4 drive bays so there is a wide range of combinations that you can do in terms of drives.
Since this is my first entrance into using the Synology line of products, and for data safety, I decided that I would purchase my own set of drives to use. This ensures that if the device had to be returned I could keep the drives in my possession. It’s my data after all and I want to keep it with me. This also means that I could reuse the drives elsewhere if I wanted to, say maybe in a new external case.
