I've been having a look at both of these models, and while the DS216 is a little more expensive, the DS216play looks like it has better specs. I just wanted to check if the normal DS216 has any features which make it worth buying over the play version, other than the slightly higher write speed?
The play version is mainly designed for streaming media, which I'm actually not really too bothered about, and would be fine with not having if the normal DS216 is actually better. It just seems strange to me that a weaker (on paper, at least) version would be more expensive than the more powerful one.
This will be my first NAS and I'll mainly be using it for normal file storage (personal documents, photos, videos), storage for uni work while away from home, and shared storage between me and a friend. I'd also like it to be able to handle simple web server hosting if possible.
Thanks in advance for the help!
