multiple nas setup on home network?

[djsy100]

Is it possible to run two Synology DS213J together so it appears as one networked storage space in windows, i already have one and its almost full.

Hi Djsy100

 

This isn’t possible as they are 2 separate storage units(nas) and there’s no way for them to appear as one unit unless it is done as a complex setup which in the long run isn’t convenient

i could be wrong, but i do remember seeing an upgrade station for Disk station NAS systems. From memory they have different capacities available. Im pretty sure that you can get upgrade stations that go up to like 28TB of storage and they just plugin via e-sata or usb

that doesnt seem to be that CPU intensive so i would go with a cheap i3, or if you want to be super carefull, a cheap xeon processor will also do the trick.

I recommend you to have a look at the 10TB+ topic (link in my signature)
Also have a look at the "what is FlexRAID" part of the FlexRAID tutorial (that is the RAID solution I would recommend for media storage.
