I am currently thinking of getting a NAS, mainly to stop paying for cloud storage and backup my phone.
a bonus would be to get media streaming. DLNA or plex should be fine.
my current ideas are:
1- DS423 - ~350 + cost of drives (minimum 200)
2- a used DS1512+ 4GB ram, and 2x4tb + 160 Sata SSD drives for 270
I know that the used one is end of life and won't be getting any updates but sounds like a good deal but I will probably have to run it locally as it won't be getting security updates even. it will also not run DSM 7 but I am not sure if it is worth spending double the money for.
wondering if there is something else that I should think about.
thanks
