Hey guys I decided to buy my first nas the one below(its on its way to me now)
Diskstation DS215j 2-Bay Gigabit Ethernet Network Attached Storage Enclosure.
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HD-078-SY&groupid=46&catid=2125&subcat=2127
It was in my budget, I am going to see how I get on with it and maybe get another 4 bay one later next year.
First question is:
I have got x2 3tb drives from 2 different manufactures is it ok to put the both in and wil they work ok ?
Second question is
I think I have read this correctly when putting in drives into the Synology it will format the drives ?
Third question is:
I need a s much storage as possible. so how would I configure it so I get a virtual 6tb one drive pls.
Fourth question is:
I bought this to store media and serve that and also general files and whatnot. and also to stream movies/mp3s to my lg smart tv along with various Xboxes ect. i presume it will be ok for this ?.
Thank you for the advice
