My first foray into NAS
I'm looking for a quiet NAS with storage to accommodate 3 PC backups. Also to use as a Plex server. Eventually to store surveillance camera video, plus store about 400GB photos and 1TB of video. 2.5 GbE network connectivity and integrated graphics required. My initial stab at 12TB may be over the top. I like to think I'm computer literate, I was an IT performance tester for many years, now retired. I'm leaning towards a 4 bay Qnap, Synology will also do, is this a good choice and how much storage and what RAID would you recommend? Thank you.
