Hi there.. I have (like many) been a Syn user for now decades, since DS101j in 2005 to 8+bay DS3018xs in the end and many in between I have bought more ip-cam licenses and totally into Syn but I think I had once a QNAP but quickly went back to Synology.. so I am in need of something very low power very compact no noise solution now for some specific tasks like ip-cam + audio + video files, so I was thinking about a DS620slim with WD RED SA500 2TB or 4TB SSD drives as the first SSD (non-mechanical) solution ever for me... and was happy to see DS625 to arrive soon - BUT then everything fell apart for me seeing the HDD issue, the less DLNA support the stepping away from 3rd part apps blocking things (yes I am using "the rrr" programs from synocommunity and what have we...) .. so my question is what do i do, stick with syn because of my investment in that ecosystem, going for DS620slim throw in some WD SSD SA500's and ignore the rest OR go qnap? or hope DS625 will accept more HDDs anyway?
