Hello,
First of all, thank you for this amazing website. I would like to get a recommendation from you for NAS (currently biased towards Asustor AS6704T Lockerstor 4 Gen 2 but unsure of software experience). Budget: 1500$ with HDD/SSD
1. Plex Media Server (for 1080p, 4K media with native transcoding capability)
2. Photos / Videos / Documents backup from Google Photos (preferably with a smooth software experience that I can set and forget)
3. Capability to access media content above from anywhere in the world with a router VPN.
4. Relatively fast read/write speeds on NAS, along with redundancy and backups. Not sure if I need SSD write cache?
5. Surveillance / CCTV footage (not yet on Reolink, using "local" baby cameras but plan to switch to reolink soon)
6. Please suggest HDD/SSD and other upgrades (like should I upgrade RAM/NIC right off the bat?) as well to go with the above NAS recommendation. For HDD, I am currently biased towards Seagate Ironclad Pro (2x22TB)
Thanks
