Yes, if you want something long-lasting then Synology indeed will be a better choice. DS218 is a replacement model for DS216. It will surely allow you to back up your computers and mobile devices. You will also be able to replace cloud services like Dropbox or Google drive. Synology drive offers things like version control not only for files but also folders for certain models. And it will still have enough power left to serve as a home multimedia centre.I would personally choose DS218+ which is slightly more powerful and feature more functionality.I hope this helps.
