happy it has a blend knob, so even if the effect is not (set as) subtle at all, one can lower its volume so it sounds less ‘in your face’
3D printed Surface Pro 3 Docking Station Adapter
When even Microsoft offers a 3d printable adapter plate too, to use the Surface Pro 3 (9.1mm thick) dock with a Surface Pro 4 (8.45mm thick), but then changing from an 0.2mm to an 0.3mm layer height, so it prints thinner (!) to fit your Surface Pro 5 (8.5mm thick)

put the lan and iec mount together in the slicer to print as one bracket
Mounting the electronics on a rear panel, facing forwards, I only have ~73mm space, so while using DIN rails, I sought other cooling options, so three 60mm fans mounted at 90 degrees it is then 🙂

Rat Rig V-Core 3 – Step-by-Step Mechanical Assembly
Synology DS716+II
High-speed gegevensoverdracht en engine voor hardware-encryptie
Uitgerust met een quad-core processor en AES-NI hardware-encryptie, de DS716+II biedt razendsnelle bestandsoverdracht – ook voor versleutelde gegevens. Met Link Aggregation ingeschakeld, levert de DS716+II een gemiddelde lees- en schrijfsnelheid van respectievelijk 226.1 MB/s en 141.19 MB/s 1, terwijl de overdracht van versleutelde van bestanden aan een verbluffend vergelijkbaar niveau van prestaties wordt uitgevoerd, meer dan 226.09 MB/s lees- en 138.04 MB/s schrijfsnelheid. Dat betekent dat u uw gegevens kunt beveiligen zonder aan prestatie te moeten inboeten.
Dual LAN-poorten met storingsbeheer en ondersteuning voor Link Aggregation
Uitgerust met twee Ethernet-poorten met failover en ondersteuning voor Link Aggregation, de DS716+II zorgt voor een continue uptime van het netwerk, zelfs als er een storing op de LAN-verbinding van een poort voorvalt, waardoor de kans op storing en kostbare downtime worden vermeden. Link Aggregation verbetert de verbindingssnelheid die hoger is dan deze van een enkele netwerkkabel of poort.
Eenvoudige installatie en probleemloos onderhoud
Eenvoudige installatie en ondersteuning voor hot-swappable harde schijven zorgen voor een gemakkelijke onderhoud en continue werking als een harde schijf aan vervanging toe is. De DS716+II is uitgerust met een passieve koeling zodat deze niet afhankelijk is van een speciale koelventilator, wat cruciaal is bij een storing.
USB 3.0 en eSATA zorgen voor een snelle overdracht naar externe opslagmedia
De DS716+II beschikt over USB 3.0 en eSATA-poorten om verschillende soorten externe opslagapparaten te kunnen aansluiten, en tegelijkertijd snelle en efficiënte bestandsoverdrachtsnelheden te verzekeren. Ondersteuning voor USB 3.0 dat overdrachtsnelheden haalt tot 5 Gbps en 10 keer sneller is dan USB 2.0, wat betekent dat er heel wat minder tijd nodig is om gegevens over te dragen naar harde schijven en minder stroom wordt verbruikt.
4K Ultra HD video versleutelen
Voorzien van een hardware-versnelde transcodeer-engine, met de DS716+II kunt u H.264 4K / 1080p video’s transcoderen en streamen naar high-definition TV, digitale mediaspelers, mobiele apparaten en computers, zodat het afspelen van video’s gemakkelijk is zonder een speler van derden te installeren

The leader overall
Synology’s newest 2-bay quad-core NAS is meant to serve growing businesses that expect their storage needs to increase, but want to minimize their initial investment. Unlike many of their other 2-bay offerings, the DS715 can be daisy-chained with a DX513 expansion unit, total raw capacity from 16TB to 56TB. The DS715 also provides impressive performance, with reported transfer speeds of 216.1MB/s read and 142.5MB/s write (RAID1), as well as 2GB of memory. In addition to its standout scalability, the DS715 carries with it all of Synology’s other DiskStation features and their popular DSM.
