Heh, that's almost the same as my setup, except I bought the Seagate Ironwolfs instead on sale. I paid AUD$20 more in total for the Ironwolfs.
I am looking to sell my DS220j however. The lack of support for btrfs is very unfortunate, as a NAS shouldn't be using ext4 with zero integrity measures and zero bit-rot protection in 2020.
RAID1 will not save anything as if there is bitrot, without checksums there is no way to know which copy is correct.
I'm looking to replace the DS220j with the DS220+ when it comes out, which is supposedly in just 1 week based on a local PC shop I called. I also might upgrade to the DS420+ depending on pricing.

But 220+ is way more expensive than 220J. For Something I expect in 2020 should be standard feature. And those Ironwolf HDD aren't cheap either. The way things are going Cloud Storage is an increasingly attractive option.
- dannyw 6y agoYeah, I agree. It sucks how the 220j doesn't have such a basic feature. Although, I was comparing costs with a self built Pi 4 with 2x HDD enclosure and powered USB hub, and the 220j stacks up favorably on the pricing front. You also get the plug in play setup, DSM software, and support. The DS220+ does not stack up favorably on the pricing front though.
