Hi there,
my name's Davide and I'm a UX designer/hobbyist photographer.
I'd consider myself tech-savvy but a novice when it comes to NAS. I've stumbled your channel recently and tried to digest a looooot of great content, but I thought I'd ask for your final opinion just to be sure.
My reasons for thinking I should get a NAS:
- large movie library, 4TB, and right now my plex server is my old gaming laptop to which 4hdd are attached, no backup
- Having a place where to save my camera's photos instead of google drive (I'm on the 2tb plan atm, and would keep it as a backup for sensitive data)
- Backup for my Mac and my girlfriend
- future use case, security cameras
With that in mind, your recommendation of Synology ds923+ would cost me 600€ + added ram, SSD, 2 ironwolf 12TB, total cost 1100€ = 1250€
That led me to think about the non-top recommended qnap TS-462, no extra ram, same drives, 980€
What would you pick?
thanks a ton for your help and great content.
