The negative is loss of storage space as RAID 10 requires at least 4 drives where 2 are backup (redundancy). The advantage of running in RAID 10 is redundancy (built in backup) and speed performance. I'm running my NAS in RAID 10 (1+0) at the cost of storage - only 10.6 TB is usable storage. What a NAS (Network Attached Storage) does do is allow you to access your files placed on the NAS via the network or internet. This is like saying dark plastics CD sleeves make CD's sound better than those with clear sleeves. Other than the snake oil salesman telling you so, there is no "improved" sound quality to be gained by having music files placed on a NAS. I'm running mine with four Western Digital Red Pro drives (6TB each).
The NAS holds up to 40TB ( 4 x 10TB drives). My primary objective is to show the advantages of NAS over USB and I do not intend to debate on sound quality.įirst let me say have a 4-bay Western Digital (PR4100) NAS. P.S.: for detractors, unless you have an objective evidence of a NAS' impact on sound quality, please do not turn this thread into a battlefield. You can even make your music accessible remotely, if you want to stream during your commute or vacation. You'll be able to stream to any device on your home as long as it has wi-fi or ethernet. A NAS is used so that you can remove the dependency on a single device/storage media for your playback needs. If you don't care about that part, or if you don't want to place the NAS close to your TV, then you're free to choose from any of the brands.Īnd as for sound quality, I know there are people who will vehemently disagree, but NAS is just a storage medium and it's not going to affect the sound quality. For you, if you want video streaming, then as suggested by go for Asustor.
