Replacement for AS5102T

[hkymre]

I’m thinking of replacing my 10 year old as5102T with a AS6804T

Current use is music streaming, photo backups & 2 CCTV cameras using surveillance centre
I’m probably going to add document backups & maybe use Plex for video as well

I’m looking at 4 x WD red pro hdd in raid5 for the cctv files
Is there anything to be gained from using NVMe as well?

The AS6804T is a great NAS but very expensive. What do you believe this will give you over the AS6704T at half the cost. If it's the faster network speed then note that the AS6704T V2 with 5Gbps Ethernet is due out very soon.

I use NVMe drives as my boot volume and active storage. This gets mirrored to the HDDs every night. Backups go straight to HDD. For my use and, I think, yours using the NVMe as cache will probably not gain much.

I think it’s the shiny new thing that appealed with the AS6804T, but I’ll have a look at the as6704t
And thanks for explaining your setup, that sounds like a plan
