Synology ds620slim is a fairly weak NAS compared to DS1621+. It is multimedia friendly and silent if filled with SSD drives, but you may consider instead of dual-core but quad-core version DS920+/DS1520+. You can also install SSD in these bigger HDD bays. Or WD Red slow spinning disks would be an option to reduce the noise.Either way, you can use any of these NAS including 1621+ to run an iTunes server and file server with a remote access option. Built-in transcoding chip on slim and 20+ series would allow remote streaming over the internet. But if you stream locally then any NAS will do the job.PRO drives last longer then regular NAS drives but they are much louder.RAID6 or SHR2 is a good option to protect your data.I hope this helps.
