I'm using a Synology 1815+ full with WD 6Tb Red Pro drives.
It's connected to an Asus RT-AC5300 router via a Cisco SG300-10 switch (for link aggregation).
I'm also running a RP-AC68U wifi bridge to the living room and connect my Devialet and my Oppo 105D to it.
Using either Roon or my Oppo 105D to connect to my music library.
For what it's worth, I don't think that there a justification to go full SSD on a NAS used to stream music. I would rather maximize the NAS' memory or spare 2 drive bays and use them as SSD caching if you really feel you need more speed.
Most of us would not have multiple concurrent users (as in 15+ users) accessing the NAS to justify going full SSD.
That being said, I'm intrigued by QNAP Qtier storage architecture... Basically combining HDD, SSD & NVMe SSD onto a single storage pool that would automatically shift files around to speed up access...
