Long time Plex and Synology user, looking to upgrade my DS216II+ to some better Synology hardware. I'm confused about best choice given that I use network connection only, no HDMI direct to TV, and watch on home network using an Android miBox.
Only have a single 720p plasma TV, although 4K possible when this one dies. Am I still better to go with a device like 920 due to its dedicated GPU, or is my use so low end that the newer 923 could still transcode internet downloaded files easily?
Want to use SHR/RAID and BTRFS with future expansion path, so 4 bay seems better chiice than 2, but budget may ultimately make thzt decision for me.
