I have a 10 year old+ DS414j Synology Nas that has served me well. Today the Speed Stars system is woefully underpowered and just tired. Looking to upgrade and wanted to get some general feedback. Info below
What will I be using this for-
NEEDS:
File Server for household
SMB Share
Mac backup
Remote File Share
Remote video file editing- would like to edit (capcut/Final Cut) from NAS up to 4k project (not heavy just family video projects)
Possible Next Cloud host
Hosting other basic services locally via apps. Docker is a secondary consideration as I'm a newbie at Docker
Plex hosting of video and music.
CONSIDERATIONS:
I do have a network switch/router with 2.5gb and 10gb capabilities
I was looking a flash only option, but feel like this is over kill (thoughts)?
Would like to have redundancy of 12-16Tb's
btfs and snapshot support sounds like a must.
I have been looking at the ASUSTOR Lockerstor Gen 3 4 bay (with 4nvme) $1399SRP, but feel like it would be overkill. Would like a little headroom for future proofing, but I'm am in no way running a small business. Just a family NAS with room to tinker a bit.
Thoughts and recommendations?
If you want some headroom to tinker (Nextcloud, Docker), plan to edit video casually, and want Plex, then you don’t need the Lockerstor unless you want serious horsepower. The DS923+ or a strong QNAP will do great and save hundreds. Go hybrid storage, not flash-only unless you’re editing multiple 4K streams.
