HI, I would like a recommendation based on my use case.
I have files, photos, videos.
I want to centralize my info and want to have a reliable nas.
I have read and watched the videos, but still, anytime I go to try the QNAP live platform - is slower than synology. probably less responsive and with a bunch of glitches.
So, just wondering what is your recommendation ? get synology ?
I want a flexible NAS, but also a stable one.
been looking at 253+ 453+ and 420+ / 720+ 920+ from synology.
I don't want to have stability issues, or glitches with programs. I use Alexa, Mac's and love the flexibility to have everything around me ( meaning files )
Also, use FIRETV, roku,
I hope to transfer my home videos to the NAS using PLEX as a server.
Also use Apple TV,
thanks for your recomendation
Current router has 2.5 port ( ax86u) Asus. which I am thinking for using for my NAS.
Dilemma = most synology have 1gig port, some If I use this router I will need to use port aggression for the Asus.
SO, I am not sure either what's best having a router with 2.5 port or having 8 ports of 1gig and using the port aggregation / or adding a 2.5 switch to my NAS.
Having the router with a 2.5 lan gives me the advantage of connecting the internet (xfinity and getting > 1200bps) but, I will be limited on the other lan ports for 1gig
Thanks for your recomnedaiton
