For years my storage was two Synology NASes: a DS220+ with a pair of 16 TB drives and an older DS214 with a pair of 8 TB drives, each running RAID 1. This year I replaced both with a single UGREEN NASync DXP4800 Pro.</p> <p>The main reason was consolidation. Two 2-bay NASes meant two boxes drawing power, two sets of resources, and two mirrors that could never be anything more than RAID 1. One 4-bay NAS could pool the power and resources, and leave room to move beyond RAID 1 later.</p>
