Recent Review [storagereview.com]
For performance, we looked at HDD-only using two 14TB Western Digital (WD141KFGX-68FH9N0) HDDs. However, if you need faster read/write performance, use SATA SSD drives as an alternative. Random read/write performance is significantly improved with SSD, although bandwidth would be capped by the dual 1GbE connectivity. Increasing memory from 2GB to 6GB should also improve overall application performance and multitenancy, and will come in handy if you plan to leverage many of the background Synology apps. In our large-block sequential test, the DS220+ had 223MB/s write, and 231MB/s read in SMB, and 222MB/s write and 231MB/s read in iSCSI, saturating the links to the 2-bay NAS.

Power Protection: I paired my 920+ with a cyberpower SL 750 VA. I use it only for the NAS and it recognizes it without issues. Estimated run time is 70 mins and it has 12GB of ram and fully populated with 4 TB iron wolves. I have it set to start down safely long before the battery runs low.
backups : if you use this as primary storage for family photos and things you don't want to loose. Then I would look into a cloud back up solution Synology C2, Backblaze B2, or others. At the very least I would set up hyperbackup to an external hard drive via USB. Yes the raid helps to protect against drive failures but if the Nas unit dies or is stolen the back ups will allow to to get your data.
Security: if you access these remotely definitely look up videos on options on how to secure them as best as possible for remote access. There was a recent widespread attack on these if people left default settings in place. Wundertech YouTube channel is a great place to start.

There might be minor differences between the DSM 6.2 vs 7.0. I found some of the android apps don't work after upgrading to 7.0. Hopefully that'll be fixed or new versions will come out.
Already have drives ready to shuck for it.
edit - will newegg restock? already see that they're out of 220+ before it even started lol
B&H are suppose to have the same price on black friday.
oh and dont forget the rebate fiasco a couple of years back where not everyone got all of their rebates, but some got more as the rebate processor wouldnt hand over the rebate records when they tried to screw them and they had to give people the benefit of the doubt and pay them their rebate.

But just because largest supported disk is is 16 didn't mean a larger one won't work...
