Hello all,
after pouring through the various options available I have narrowed it down to DS224+ and TS-262 but can't quite decide which one to go with. Below is what I aim to use it for
1. Store and view photos / videos from iphone/android from anywhere. I am selling the idea of a NAS to the missus on this usecase since she is frustrated with her iphone storage running out frequently and I don't want to fork out for icloud.
2. Media server with directly play, transcoding is not very important
3. Ability to download from https/bittorrent etc. using a VPN connection
4. Access the content of the NAS securely from anywhere
I understand both these models can achieve all of these. I am inclined towards QNAP however the software superiority of Synology is giving me pause. I just want to know if DSM and QTS 5.2 are on par with functionality. I don't mind fiddling around the setting or some DIY if that is what is needed for QNAP.
