Hello there,
I am looking at getting a new NAS setup, currently I have a Seagate Blackarmor 3GB NAS which has outlived its usefulness and I am looking at getting an upgrade. I've pretty much decided on a Synology DS413J but I am not sure of the ideal disks to go with it. The Western Digital Red disks have been recommended to me but I am not sure if the 5900RPM speed would cause me any issues. My setup is straightforward I have an ASROCK Vision 3D Windows 7 workstation with XBMC 11 on it, accessing my NAS over a gigabit network and I'm mainly playing 1080p MKV.
Does anyone have any experience with these disks or recommend and reliable alternative?
Regards
