QNAP has made significant strides in improving security, so the concerns you may have heard about are largely addressed, especially in their latest models. The QNAP TS-462 and TS-464 series are now great choices for family multimedia use, offering robust security features, faster access, and multimedia support, like Plex, right out of the box. These models are well-suited for backups, file sharing, and media streaming.
Alternatively, Synology’s DS423+ is also an excellent choice, offering smooth performance for multimedia, photo sharing, and backups with Synology’s highly secure and user-friendly DSM software. If you’re also considering light virtualized tasks down the line, the DS923+ might be worth a look; it’s geared toward more advanced setups like virtualization but can still handle multimedia well. And if you ever need faster speeds, both Synology and QNAP have affordable adapters for 2.5GbE or 5GbE upgrades.
