What Link Aggregation capable switches for home use are compatible with this NAS other than the 3 listed on the Synology website?

I have tried D-Link DGS 1200 series and Cisco 2960 series and it works fine.

I have HP Procurve switches and they work (HP 1800 series, an 8 port and 24 port) both work fine. I'm not sure what models Synology state as working. I would assume that the vast majority of switches supporting Link Aggregation would work these days, however, I've only had direct experience with the HP 1800's, which work very well.(Corrected Switch Model series)

Look at NAS (Network Attached Storage Devices) for hard drives that attach to a network. This is not for that use case.

I do exactly this with a Synology NAS. There are a few caveats with the library but I can watch or listen to my library on 2 Apple TVs and audio with some Airport Expresses. Should work the same with this.

Depends on your application. The apps that the synology box supports are great. Think email, surveillance, plex, or your own personal cloud accessible from anywhere.

I concur with Fan of Frost, for a few dollars more you could get the 8 port switch. "http://www.amazon.com/D-Link-8-Port-Gigabit-Switch-DGS-1008G/dp/B003X7TRWO/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid;=1404933567&sr;=8-6&k;eywords=d+link+gig+switch"But, if you are doing what I did, I bought the 8 port and the 5 port. The 8 port is in my office where I needed more ports, and the other is across the other side of the house in my master bedroom. I wanted gig speed for all my devices that support it. They are daisy chained and everything works fine.

Yes, the default is Synology Hybrid Raid (SHR) which is like RAID1 but more versatile.

As an owner of two Drobo's, I wouldn't buy another one of them. Look at the Synology NAS devices. I can't think of any aspect where the Synology isn't superior - especially the tech support. Or if fireproof, waterproof and bulletproof counts, look at ioSafe which runs the Synology software.

I have 4 ST3000DM0001 and one ST3000VN0000 in a Synology DS1512+ and it doesn't cause any problems. It doesn't add anything to performance either though. The price between the two is only $10 dollars right now, so I would just flip a coin. My long term plan is to replace the DM drives with VN drives as my old drives die.

I have not tried it as yet, but from my personal experience with IP camera support available on Synology. I am sure it will work.

The Synology website says that 6TB drives are supported. Check the drive that you are planning on getting with their list to be sure.

I am using it on the DS411J. It works fine. Synology comes with 2 software licenses. I also purchased 3 more so I can run 5 cameras.

According to their compatible drive list, it can easily handle them.https://www.synology.com/en-us/compatibility/hd/DS713+

It supports link aggregation, but not IEEE 802.3ad. I was hoping to do the same thing but had to do something different.
