Hi - Love your site and I find your videos to be very educational.
I had a DS418play that fried on me and need to upgrade. My primary uses are for home and I run Synology surveillence station and streaming Plex. Mainly to set top boxes and smart TVs that allow for the Plex app install.
I'm looking at the
- DS224+ (I like this because of the integrated GPU)
- or -
- DS923+ because of the future proofing but unfortunately lack of integrated GPU.
I'm having a hard time deciding because I like the idea of having server side processing (DS224+) for my movies because my streaming devices don't have that conversion capability. But given the more power provided by the DS923+ will my streaming be impacted by the lack of integrated GPU?
Thanks a million
Cheers,
Steve
