Synology DS411 or DS411+II?

[petersw]

Hi,

For streaming BD files over gigabit ethernet, will the +II give me significantly more bang for my buck? Or should I stick with getting a 411 and put the extra $ into hard drives?

Thanks!!

I debated the same, for the 212 vs 212+.
I decided that the 1.6GHz CPU in the 212 is good enough for streaming most anything - the limitation will be the client devices (assuming WiFi is not used).

reminder: RAID is not a backup.
