Good Morning,
I have a (currently offline due to WD Outages) 6TB MyCloud Home which is 4.5TB full, and an older (2015) Windows 10 PC which runs NVR Software for my CCTV. I am looking to massively beef up my NAS solution as theMyCloud was so slow and would frequently crash Finder and File Explorer due to WD's software. I need a NAS which can hold Documents, Movies, Music, Photos, and videos. I'm also looking for one which can be used as an NVR with Reolink Cameras and stream video over the network via Plex or something similar. I'd love to be able to edit 4Kvideos from it but that might not be possible.
I was thinking about upgrading to 2.5GBE in my house now that I have Gigabit internet and nothing can take full advantage of its speed. I was looking at Synology and they don't have anything which is 2.5GBE unless you get the 10GBE NIC for it.
I am thinking about a DS1522+, or failing that a custom build with TrueNAS. What would you recommend in my scenario?
Thanks,
James.
