Both the DS220+ and DS223 have similar form factors and can accommodate two 3.5-inch or 2.5-inch SATA hard drives or solid-state drives. However, the DS220+ has a more powerful Intel Celeron J4025 processor with hardware-accelerated 4K video transcoding capabilities, making it a better choice if you plan to use it as a media server. The DS223, on the other hand, has a Realtek RTD1296 quad-core 1.4 GHz processor and lacks hardware transcoding support, so it may struggle with heavy media streaming and transcoding tasks.
If you don't plan on using the NAS for heavy media streaming and transcoding, the DS223 may still be a good choice due to its lower price point and decent performance. However, if you want better performance and hardware transcoding capabilities, the DS220+ may be a better choice, despite being slightly more expensive.
