Hello guys,

Iv been looking to setup a NAS for a few weeks now, though I'm wondering which is the best brand for a two bay NAS?

I hear Synology is a good brand.

I'm looking for a NAS that can do Raid 0, has a app on both andriod and IOS, and it's fast.

Thanks!

QNAP, hands down, with Synology as a close second. Both of them come with a price tag I would rather build a small PC for, though.

Why QNAP?

Also, what is the difference between these two?

My younger brother works in IT and from what he's told me they sell

and set up quite a few Synology units for customers. So far their

experiences have been excellent he says.

 

EDIT:

Also, they seem to have great customer support.
