Advice from the IT pro's please
I'm planning to upgrade my NAS as my current Buffalo Linkstation is almost full and I am starting to see drive errors. I have selected the Synology DS413 Synology Network Attached Storage - DS413 Products (unless anybody has a good reason not to), as the enclosure and am now looking at drives.
When I look at the list of compatible drives there are three categories, Desktop, Enterprise and Surveillance. I know about desktop and enterprise but what is surveillance? The reason I ask is that the drives are significantly cheaper than the enterprise (around 50% of the cost). I'm planning to get 4 x 3Tb drives running in raid 5, so should I stick with with the enterprise or would the surveillance class be OK to use?
Also, I have a Logitech squeezebox with the software running on my desktop PC, could this software be installed on the NAS?
