I'm looking to replace my Synology DS215J - Slope Game With a larger 4-bay.
I'm trying to decide which model is best for my usage and with it currently being August is now a good time to buy?
My use case is:
1. Backups (2 MacBook's, 2 Windows 11 PCs, iPhone, iPad second backup aside iCloud).
2. Storage (Videos/Photos) - Mainly to free up space on my iPhone/iPad. Nothing huge there (5GB?). However, Game stream clips/highlights in 1440p60p maybe larger but this currently isn't a huge size currently just 50GB.
3. Maybe store films/movies on and stream to my LG C2 TV. However, this be a maximum of like 3 films a month if that at best.
I've been looking at the DS420+ and DS920+ - not sure if this is my route to go if so which? Or a completely different model you can recommend.
Thanks!
Go for the DS920+ if you want flexibility, room for growth, and better multitasking performance. It’ll handle your backups, file storage, light Plex use, and small future projects easily. If money’s tight and you’re mostly about simple backups and occasional file access → DS420+ still works.
