Hello. I used to have a QNAP TS-569 PRO who died recently...
So now i have to find a new one to mainly store my pictures and movie libraries. What NAS would you recommend between the TS-673A, TS-855X and TVS-H674? Budget aside as i'm really looking long-term.
Thanks for your help.

TS-673A
Great all rounder and very efficient, but the oldest of the three. It still performs well for photos and media, and the Ryzen CPU is solid, but if you want a system that will carry you many years ahead, the newer models below give you more runway.
TS-855X
A very good balance of capacity, PCIe expansion, and newer hardware. You get more drive bays than the TS-673A, plus stronger throughput thanks to the built in 10GbE. For a mixed photo and movie library this is a very sensible long term choice, especially if you want space to expand without replacing what you already have.
TVS-H674
This is the highest performing option of the three. You get a newer Intel Core CPU with built in graphics, faster indexing for photo libraries, better performance for Plex, and the ZFS based QuTS Hero system if you want stronger data integrity. It is the most future proof, especially if your media collection keeps growing.
For your workload and long term plan, the TVS-H674 is the one I would pick. The combination of power, expandability, and the option to run ZFS makes it the strongest replacement for the TS-569 Pro. The TS-855X is the next best choice if you value more drive bays instead of top tier CPU performance.
