Thinking about giving away my DS1522+ to a friend and upgrade to a rack. Any recommendations on what rack I could go for?
I would like to have something that can have 20-25 bays (after expanding) and has SHR. If not Synology, then something similar to SHR where I can combine different sizes of drives. Using it strictly for Plex.
I will put an SSD in one of the bays for the containers, so I don't need NVMe support. not sure about cache. I currently have cache set up in my DS, but no idea if it actually improves things or not. Moving the containers to an SSD though helped a lot so I will definitely use that on the rack.
I really like my DS1522+, it is just not big enough, so ideally I get something that is similar but bigger.
my top choice at the moment is the Synology RS2423RP+, but will gladly listen to any other suggestions.
