I've managed to fill both my DS214Play and Qnap 670Pro and it's now time for another NAS. I've considered the DS1817+ but for the amount of money I probably can get myself a decent spec'd Xpenology. I was thinking to start with 6-8 drives then with 2 PCIE slot for possible network adaptor and more drives upgrades. I'll use the NAS for storage mainly, should I go for a MB with embedded CPU or maybe MB that I can upgrade CPU just in case I want to play with VM etc in the future? I think even for storage only, I'll benefit from better CPU in case a failed drive and I have to rebuild the data (I 'll go with SHR)?
Please can I have some recommendations on embedded one as well as a good MB for upgradable cpu to start with? Many thanks.
