Synology NAS DS1517+ and Vectorworks

[Yvonne Parry]

Hi we have 7 x iMac 27" clients running Vectorworks 2017.  We have a Mac Mini 2.8ghz 16gb with 2TB fusion drive acting as server and currently have about 1.5TB data. To improve network and file access times for the client Macs we are considering replacing the Mac Mini server with a Synology DS1517+ 5 bay 10Tb NAS RAID.  But I have seen issues reported on this forum relating to Synology NAS RAID and Vectorworks, particularly with project sharing, and particularly on certain Synology models.  Are we likely to run into issues with the DS1517+?  Would we be better off with a Pegasus Thunderbolt RAID on an improved Mac OS Server , either a new Mac Mini with1TB SSD + Peagasus 2, or new iMac 1TB SSD with Pegasus 3?  Many thanks for any advice on this

@Yvonne Parry did you get the sinology? I at the exact same point as you at this moment, looking for some advice. Also wanting to be able to use project sharing.
