- I am quite a little away from even needing 1TB, …
- but 2TB seem to be on the safe side, …
- but then the gap between 2TB and 3TB isn’t really huge,
- whereas the gap between 3TB and 4TB weighs quite a little
On 2015-03-20 we had reached the end of the 2015 CeBIT week – it was clear enough, Synology would not present a DS715+. They also only recently flooded the market with a DS215j, so there would not be a DS215+. Time to finally get a DS713+. Got it and started deploying to it all the software and data and scripts, I already have on my older and tinier DiskStations.
But the DS713+ is Docker ready and quite capable to run a Hibiscus-Server and my Perl banking scripts, and still do a lot of other stuff.
I had thought about a DS71X+ since the beginning of February, when I first noticed, that Synology also has an Intel (64bit) 2-bay “+”-model, even ready to get extended by an 8-bay extension frame – I assume this is their most powerful 2-bay DiskStation – maybe not most energy efficient – but I do need a machine, that can stand the constant bank data exchange and processing on a machine, that does not suffer at all from that task resp. bundle of tasks.
