Hi,
Love your channel. I'm looking in to buying my first NAS. Right now I have a home lab with OMV but I'm looking in to something more stable and easy to set up and maintain. What I'm looking for is a NAS for streaming media at home trough SMB, back up photos from phones and manage some files between the home members (3-4 users). For the time being i believe that storage around 4-6 TB should be more than enough. On top of that I would like to be able to run some containers such as Transmission, Radarr, Jellyfin, maybe Nextcloud (i don't know whether there are benefits vs DSM), so I will need something with a bit more RAM or the possibility to expand. One of the main concerns that I have are around noise as the NAS will be placed in my living room so I would prefer it to be as silent as possible .
I was thinking about buying a second hand device and was looking in to Synology DS220+. So I would love to hear your thoughts and also to ask should I look in to other brands?
