Hi,
I've been putting off getting a NAS for quite some time. Now that i'm finally willing to commit, I have trouble selecting the correct NAS. I intend to use it mainly for media storage and our photo backup. I'd like to run the plex server on it so I can watch whaterver is stored on there on the devices around the house. Not really planning on sharing it with people outside the household, but I expect that may be the case within some months.
Was really looking forward to the easy interface of the synology systems, but the lack of gpu embedded cpu's and now the whole issue with the limited selection of available drives is putting me towards QNAP.
That being said, I'm aiming for a 4-bay to start with, and populating it with 2 drives (between 8 and 12 tb, depending on availability). Exact size isnt an issue for now, and I can always expand.
I would like your opinion on 'the best' system between synology and qnap in this situation. Budget would include 2 drives.
Many thanks!
