Has anyone used the Synology RS18016xs+ in anger? I am looking for a solution to give me approx 100TB of usable space. As this will be in RAID10 (I don't fancy the rebuild times with Raid6) it will also need to use the RX1216sas expansion.
I plan on using HGST HE8 SAS drives, the storage doesn't need to be amazingly fast, hence no need to use SSD's for any caching.
This is to store backup data, and a 2nd unit will be used in another location for replication.
Cost for a single site is approx £15k and I can't think of a cheaper way of achieving this, am I being silly thinking the Synology will be upto this? Any better way to do this without spending a significant amount more?
Any help/ideas appreciated
