I’ve been really happy with the DS1618+ we have at work as as well. I especially like that you can use the full size drive bays with SATA SSDs as cache drives. Some other products (Drobo for example) only let you mount cache drives on connectors for that explicit function or purpose.
Anyone know offhand if this year is getting a refresh to the 1618+? I think that Synology has a tick-tock upgrade cadence with consumer product lines getting upgrades in year x, and enterprise products get upgrades in year x+1.
