Been waiting for another deal on the DS918+
Cheapest you can get it at the moment, and yes I know there is a new model coming out this year, however it appears that all it is is a CPU bump. Claiming 15% better performance (https://www.synology.com/zh-tw/products/DS920+#features).
I'm sure there will be comments but ensure the drives you get for your NAS are not SMR, good article on it here;

I'm going to use it with ultrastar drives (thanks to systema for posting that deal - now expired).
Thinking about replacing my HP N40 with one of these.
What drives are people putting in here? WD Red? Seagate Ironwolf?
Thinking I'll go either 6TB or 8TB drives.
