I'm new to the group and thank you in advance for any input here.
I'm considering upgrading from my QNAP TS-469PRO due to 1) it is no longer supported by QNAP, 2) security issues with QNAP relative to Synology, and 3) the prospect of moving to a more user-friendly operating system. I've watched numerous nascompares videos and have decided the Synology DS1522+ may be the optimal solution, but had a few questions. Note that my use case is for backups of our Macbook Pro and Dell laptop data (my spouse is a Realtor and operates her business from home and I'm retired, but with many photos and videos).
What I'm considering is a DS1522+ with 32GB RAM (2x Synology RAM DDR4 ECC Unbuffered SODIMM 16GB D4ES01-16G, Synology E10G22-T1-Mini 10GbE Network Upgrade Module, and 5 x Seagate Exos X16 ST16000NM003G 16TB 7200 RPM 256MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Hard Drives, 512E/4KN, SED. I understand that the Seagate drives are not on the Synology compatibility list, but have seen enough videos to know this probably isn't an issue. Since most of the use of this device will be for backup, I'd deferring the purchase of NVMe at this point.
Questions:
1) do you see any issues with the choices I've made, especially the inclusion of SED drives?
2) do you agree with my deferral of NVMe?
3) given that the DS1522+ is a 2022 model, what is the estimated support window for this model?
3) any other advice or considerations?
Thank you for your input.
