Greetings all!  As the thread title says...up until about a year ago, I was the owner/user of a Norco 4224 unRAID server.  I sold off 90% of my build, and purchased a Synology 1815+.  The Synology is great...and very easy to use...and has a ton of useful features that my whole family uses (Photo Station, Surveillance Station, etc.).  I have filled up the Synology 1815+ w/ 8x WD 6TB REDS and have even added an extension to it (Synology DX513) and already have 2X WD 6TB REDS in it.  That leaves me with just 3 open bays...

 

I'm now wanting to give unRAID 6 a try.  I would keep my Synology 1815+/DX513 and add a Norco 4224.

Any thoughts on my proposed new build?

My thoughts are that this simply won't work for you. You should just pack it all up in a box and send it to me instead.
