Hello,
I find your videos to be very helpful but I still have a question.
I was planning to get a DS920+ running RAID 6 for picture and video storage (just family, nothing professional) and then an NVR1218 to add some cameras around my house. I went to order the NVR1218 and it's discontinued. I was attracted to this model because of the HDMI port and the camera licenses that are included.
Would a DS1520+ be a reasonable substitute? I'm thinking 4 drives used as a NAS and the 5th used as an NVR. Is this dumb? Is there a better solution? Is there anything I should know about mixing NAS and NVR drives? I thought about QNAP but I'd rather just learn one system and since I'm new at this I thought Synology was a little more user friendly.
Thanks
