Anyone have a DS1511+ ?

Hey all,

I just turned my 1156 box into an ESX host for playing at home and as a result, I've lost my Windows box that serves up 6TB of data/media.

So, I was thought about building a new box to serve all of my data and then came across the Synology DS1511+. Lower power consumption, high performance teaming NICs, and VMware certified. Would be easier to create LUNs and segregate my data. It seems the cost would be paid off in saved energy within a matter of 2 years and it would return higher performance.

Does anyone have one and is it worth the high entry price?
 
I have a DS1010+ with a 10TB RAID5 volume and I absolutely love it. I only use a single gigabit connection and get about 100MB/s read and write

I highly recommend Synology products. I love the small size, low power and excellent webui management software.
 
I have one and yes it is worth every penny. I have 5x HITACHI Deskstar 7K2000 HDS722020ALA330 2 TB drives in RAID 5. I have 2 LUNS created. One for my ESXi and the other for my Hyper-V machine. No problems on my end.

I also have a DS1010+ and very pleased with it. I use NFS on it for my ESX datastores. You can also do iSCSI..but I don't bother.
 
I've got the 1511+ with 5x WD 7200 1TB drives serving up NFS and iSCSI for my ESX home lab as well as some windows file shares. It works perfectly and I'd say is definitely worth the price! Nice and quiet too!
 
Thanks for the opinions! Found a $10 off coupon for Buy.com and pulled the trigger. :)
