Hello, I'm new to this, and I'm looking to buy my first NAS device. The synology products interest me a ton because of the out of the box solution without having to configure a ton with my own custom server. I love their app / docker capability. So, I'm leaning towards those.
I'm mainly using this NAS as a media server that I'd like to get the highest possible quality of video / audio from. I'd also like to use it for some data storage and running of game servers. I'm running into some confusion / uncertainty.
I am seeing a lot of info about probably needing to buy a mini PC to server the data. Are there any synology solutions that would allow me to just get the NAS? If I do need a mini PC to server the media, do I just connect that device through HDMI to my tv, then connect to the NAS from it? Would I not be able to use a remote?
Thanks for the help!
