Hi,
I'm looking for a NAS for home use mostly for data backup, personal cloud, media library, Plex and some VM use (Docker, Home Assistant etc).
I've been looking at the DS920+ but then found out that the DS1522+ is due to be released soon and it looks like a substantial upgrade. However, I've since watched your comparison video and as you say the saving in outlay can be used towards HDD, SSD and RAM upgrade. I've been burnt with an older model NAS before, which soon became a useless paperweight.
Am I overthinking this, should I just go for the 920 and upgrade it?
Should I pay the higher cost and opt for the 1522, knowing it will last longer?
Or, address there other options to consider instead (Asustor or QNAP maybe)?
Thanks for any help or advice,
Simon
