Looking to replace my Synology DS215J

Hi,
I'm looking to replace my Synology DS215J - 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!

Both the DS420+ and DS920+ are solid choices for your needs. The DS920+ offers more powerful hardware, which can be beneficial if you plan to do any transcoding for streaming movies or handling larger files in the future. Given your use case, either model would work well, but if you anticipate expanding your storage or running more applications, the DS920+ might be the better investment. As for timing, August can be a good time to buy, especially with back-to-school sales, so keep an eye out for deals!
