Hi guys,
I have a coworker who is offering me his Synology DS710+ (diskless) for $250. It has an intel atom D410 with 1GB of RAM. Only a single NIC. Out of warranty. Its still working well, and i trust he maintained it as well as he could (not much upkeep required for a NAS i would imagine).
The purpose of this would be to backup my VMs via Veeam with shares/drives presented from the NAS, as well as testing iscsi and nfs.
Do you all think the DS710+ is worth $250? or would you recommend something like a DS214+ for $340 that runs on an ARM cpu, but has dual NICs, a warranty and speced at higher transfer speeds?
EDIT: im also open to suggestions to other brands such as netgear and qnap
