MRACHINI Posted April 28, 2013 Report Share Posted April 28, 2013 Anyone tested the:My Book Live Duo WDBVHT0080JCHI'm getting 16TB storage NAS and was wondering if instead of getting the "Synology DS412+", since I'm not gonna be using DSM's features, and since I'm gonna use RAID1.I could get 2 My Book Live Duo WDBVHT0080JCH and instead of RAID1 i could just use the full 8TB as storage and place each NAS at different location and sync them with BTSync.

Automatic Coding Posted April 28, 2013 Report Share Posted April 28, 2013 No, I haven't, but, I'd just like to point out that for not that much more (~ $200, based on the amazon price of the WDBVHT0080JCH being $650) I got a full machine with 8 HDD slots (upgradable to 20 disks at any point, with, upgrades that I don't have the plunge into at once), full NAS software (based off slackware that can run other stuff like plex/sabnzbd/sickbeard/couch/btsync/custom programs/etc), 16GB of ECC ram, a 4 core 3.3GHz stock CPU.No idea about you, but, I'd say that's worth $200ish more of building your own machine, although, I do admit that my case is huge compared to that small thing, however, I prefer usability over size.
