DS1520+ is not a bad choice. It comes with a quad-core CPU and is capable of running a couple of virtual machines.Maybe not as fast as ryzen Xeon based models (DS1621+ / DS1621xs+), but still affordable.Qnap does offer more configuration options and it allows to use of cache cards for actual storage space.Qnap TS-x73 series or 72N series would be a good alternative.I hope this helps.
