Hello
Have been close to pulling the trigger on a NAS for awhile now. I’m maxed out on several 2TB external hard drives that I store raw photos, 4k video, and phone backups to. I do photo and video editing for personal projects and sometimes for paid projects.
Initial research has me trying to decide between the Synology 923+ and 1522+ and maybe adding two 16GB drives to start. Seems like folks say if the $100 doesn’t matter to you then best to get the 1522+. Is that the case?
Also wondering if it is worth waiting for their next models to come out (guessing announcement by year end). Seems like a long time to wait and the current models are probably plenty capable (and upgradable) for my purposes as a first time user.
Any thoughts between the two or waiting? And recommendations on drives?
Thanks!
