BEST 5-BAY (OR BIGGER) NAS BOX

If you need a truly big NAS that allows for masses of storage, this five-bay unit is our current pick. It runs Synology’s excellent DSM operating system, supports the very-latest 12TB hard drives (conceivably letting you outfit it with up to 60TB of storage) and offers top performance thanks to a quad-core Intel Atom CPU and 8GB of memory. If you need even more performance, you can also optionally add caching SSDs or 10 Gigabit Ethernet via an expansion card. A great option for those that need speedy, redundant storage for the home or a small office.
