Both the Synology DS923+ and DS423+ are great options for a 4-bay NAS system that can securely store your video podcasts and work/film projects. As for remote access, both Synology and QNAP offer mobile apps and web-based interfaces that allow you to access your NAS remotely, as long as you have an internet connection.
As for software, both Synology and QNAP offer user-friendly interfaces and a range of apps that can be easily installed and used on your Macbook Pro. Synology's DSM (DiskStation Manager) and QNAP's QTS (Qnap Turbo System) are both well-regarded for their ease of use and functionality.
In terms of storage capacity, it really depends on your needs and how much data you plan on storing. A 4-bay NAS allows for up to 4 hard drives, so you could start with a smaller capacity like 4TB or 8TB and expand as needed. As for RAID configuration, RAID 5 or RAID 6 are recommended for data protection, but it's important to note that RAID is not a backup solution, so it's always a good idea to have a separate backup system in place.
