NAS Upgrade Recommendation |

Hello! I am a big fan. Found you guys on Youtube and cannot thank you enough for the help. I currently have a 8TB WD MyCloud Home which is starting to fail. I am now looking to upgrade/pivot. I am hoping you could help me with a recommendation?
My biggest use cases are:
1. PLEX
2. Client Data (Graphic Design, Raw Video Files, etc.)
For PLEX, nearly my library is either 720p or 1080p. I rarely deal with 4K. However, I do have a decent amount of HEVC (H.265) and MKV files, and want the playback to be snappy and efficient.
For clients, I am looking primarily to store and share files with guest users to view/download.
Other features or capabilities (like mobile app ease of use) are nice but not as critical.
The NAS I seem to be gravitating towards currently are the Synology DS220+ (with upgraded ram) and the QNAP TS-253 but open to any thoughts or suggestions.
Love you guys! And thank you so much.

Newbie - 4K Plex Server |

First and foremost, you guys are awesome! Love the site. I'm a total newbie that has been running a Drobo 5N for a decade. I have decided to make the move to a new NAS. My wish list is a NAS that can handle most 4K, including transcoding, maybe a couple of streams at at time., hot swap drives, and I do like Drobo's ability to utilize different sized drives.
I was leaning towards the QNAP TS-464, but your comments that the learning curve is steep on the software OS side scares me a bit. However, you don't have a single Synology on recommended, which was surprising.
SO..... do I take the plunge on the QNAP and hope I don't F-things up too bad?

Drives for DS423+ |

Hi. Can You please help me decide which drives would be compatible with Synology DS423+ (I never had NAS before) and better to use?
Drives are:
TOSHIBA Enterprise MG07ACA14TE 14TB (272,98€ -cca 240,38£)
WD GOLD WD102KRYZ 10TB (294,74€ - cca 259,54£)
Seagate Exos X18 512E/4KN 10TB (280,14€ - cca 246,69£).
None of them is on official Synology compatibility list and if I can I would go with most space since all of them are about same price (local prices).
NAS will be used for file sharing and multimedia sharing and local backup of 4 PC and 1 laptop.
Thank you for all help You can give me.

6tb wd MyCloud died - bought 20tb MyCloud home duo android os unimpressive, found a cheap MyCloud on eBay 8tb use for media svr dlna
Wd outage confirmed my doubts about duo - no access to files, so I have been watching your yt vids to seek a better san - could build one or buy purpose built. Former job in IT gives me some hardware and knowledge- thinking Synology or Asus or unraid based on dell xps 870 tower.

I'm setting up a video surveillance NAS for my home. Many, if not most, of the information I am using to make decisions is coming from information you are putting out. I am now looking at cameras. I know you prefer Reolink but I have also been looking at others such as Amcrest in addition to Reolink. I prefer to use Turret style cameras as they are less noticeable but they seem to be more costly and have lower specs than bullet style, can you offer some advice?
I am also looking at the Reolink Duo Floodlight for 1 camera. You did a video on the Duo 2 wifi version but all of mine will be poe. how do the 2 compare?
Thanks for your help!
Ryan
