I've been quite happy with my DS411j, and I was thinking to sell my old 4-bay eSATA enclosure but now I'm feeling greedy. I want to extend the DS411j with another 4 HDD hosted inside that USB enclosure.
What have been your experience wi Synology NAS & external USB/eSATA HDD enclosures?
Does it work with JBOD type of enclosure? If not, will it see all 4 HDD inside the enclosure?
I just realized that the cheaper 411j only has USB ports, no eSATA. But looking at the 411 price, it'd cheaper to get a 2nd 411j. LOL
My enclosure, unfortunately only has eSATA connection. But if it works well enough, I might just buy a mediasonic usb3/eSATA enclosure, and use it to extend the 411j with my old 4x 1TB HDD - making it a total of 4x 3TB + 4x 1TB.
Thanks in advance.
