Hi,
I currently own a DS213 and it's getting long in the tooth. I have been reading your articles and watching your videos to determine which drive is best suited for me. I want a fast drive, but I don't want to break the bank. The primary purpose of this drive is to back up my pictures and home videos from my PC (on the same local network as the NAS) and back up my pictures and videos from my cell phone. The concern I have is accessing the files remotely (especially the videos) and having the system lag or slow down (1080p and 4K). I've read the lack of an iGPU of the new Ryzen R1600 can make some hesitant about getting it (more so for Plex). I can't find any real-world benchmarks to assist me in determining what drive I should get, but I am leaning towards the more expensive 723+.
Additionally, I want to pair it with the WD Red Pro 4TB drives that are not (technically) supported.
Your thoughts are appreciated! Thank you.
