Looking to replace a dead Synology DS1515+ to a Plex hosting server & Playback Solution - Enquiries - 07-12-2022
After powering down the DS1515+ it simply won't power on again. Given its several years old, I am looking for a replacement that would this time handle the PLex server/playback. I have looked at various videos you have hosted and I am unsure on how to best proceed. Given my old data is still on the 5 bay array (1 drive redundancy, using the synology raid system), I think I am limited to having to upgrade to a Synology NAS to have the drives/raid slotted directly in? This would mean the 920+ would not suit, and perhaps I would need to consider a 1520+, but given it's currently priced at $1200, it seems quite expensive for an older system, and I am again stuck with just 5 bays (I have several additional 4TB drives that I was hoping to use)?
What would be the current best Synology option for me to migrate to and enable it as a capable plex server/player?
Can I also consider QNAP solutions? - although I am concerned whether I can get my drive data back if I stick my drives them into QNAP...
