Hi Team,
Please could I ask for your advice on a first NAS purchase.
I have narrowed down between the Synology DS723+ and the QNAP TS 264-8GB based on what I have learnt from your website/YouTube videos.
I'm happy with having two bays for HDDs with the ability to extend with M.2 drives later down the line.
I will mainly be using the NAS to store video files (movies/tv 1080p and 4K HDR) and photos.
I’d like to transfer as much data to the NAS via USB if possible. Most of my data sits on external SSD’s ATM so if I can bypass transferring data to a computer then to the NAS it would make life easier.
I will be accessing video files via Nvidia shield (via Jellyfin/Plex) or VLC player on MacBook.
Would the larger RAM on the QNAP be better long term?
Keen to purchase the one which will last be the longest
Many thanks for your help and information
