Pick the FS2500 if you want the newer, much faster platform: it uses a modern AMD CPU, supports far more RAM, has 12 bays plus expansion support, and includes built-in 10GbE with M.2 slots for cache. The FS2017 is older, has a weaker Intel CPU, a much lower RAM ceiling, fewer bays and less expansion headroom, and lacks the same built-in modern I/O. For a home/SMB buyer, the FS2500 is the clear choice unless you’re buying only for a very cheap legacy setup.
