Thanks Raiz!Yeah the 804 definitely won't be the easiest to swap out HDDs, but I do like the look of it :)
Now, I just need to do further research and figure out the appropriate power supply and then the plan for my HDD layout (4x 4TB, leave 4 slots open for expansion; 4x 6TB with 4 open; 6x 4TB, or 8x 4TB, etc.) as the plan is to do RAID Z2. I want to think long-term with this NAS so any suggestions would be appreciated based on your experience; as this is my first NAS.
My final question is, do you think it's worth going with the higher processor now v. say the E3 1230 v5?
Thanks!
