      Star Wars talk is appropriate today, right?

      Not always the best, speed isn't. More learning to do I do.

        Star Wars and Spaceballs talk is appropriate every day!

            Note to self:
            Star Wars/Spaceballs mentions are a good way to bump up the reply rate in one's thread.

                @BRRABill was wondering what model would be suitable for his five to ten users' storage requirement.

                  Exactly!

                  Also, did you say all the devices are basically the same, except for processor? I'd love to get my hands on a cheapo one to play with.

                    Yes, the bigger ones have more disks, bigger procs, more memory. But the core OS from both vendors remains the same across their product lines. You can all features the same from top to bottom in the lineups. So getting the smallest ones for learning is all that you need. I have both vendors' products at home.

                      I also have Drobo gear, but they make little that would apply to this type of audience. They are really about large volume, low performance SAN primarily. They do have the Drobo 5N for those with very specific needs.

                        It really depends on your requirements and how much data you have. The 214 provides up to 12 TB of raw capacity while the 1515+ provides up to 90 TB (when used with expansion units). The 1515+ also has quad LAN ports for failover/Link Aggregation and supports Synology High Availability/automatic failover.

                          Couple hundred GB, max.

                          The 415+ was mentioned earlier.

                            In that case, the 214 would likely be the way to go: https://iosafe.com/products-2baynas-overview

                              That's really for those that need more than 6TB of usable only. If you need 6TB or less, the ioSafe 214 / Synology 215+ are where it is at.

                                        Could go for a good BBQ. Our "driving kids around" schedule is filled with hoagies, granola bars, and nothingness.

                                          Is there actually a difference? I haven't looked yet. Too much chatter on this forum to use any other browser windows.

                                            @BRRABill sorry lol - they are the same, but ioSafe puts their's into a fireproof wrapper, then does PR stunts like BBQ'ing them.
