I think we have budget for an 8-bay NAS this month and based on what I've seen here, Synology may be a front runner.
I see they have IP camera options and have been following the thread on POE switches.
My proposed layout is 5x 3 or 4 TB drives in RAID 5 for our data. 3x 3 or 4 TB drives in RAID 5 for camera recording.
I have drives picked out for the data however want to have a separate array for the video so performance on both is predictable.
I know AV drives keep writing even if there is a fault but wanted to see if there is a reason to go AV drives instead of NAS drives.
