Thank you for your kind words about our channel! We appreciate your support. It sounds like you have some specific requirements for your first NAS, and the Synology DS220+ would be a great choice. It's a reliable and user-friendly NAS that offers streaming capabilities, photo backup, file management, and the ability to run containers for applications like Transmission, Radarr, and Jellyfin. While 4-6 TB of storage should be sufficient for your current needs, it's always good to have room for future expansion. In terms of noise, the DS220+ is known for its quiet operation, making it suitable for placement in your living room. Considering you're open to second-hand devices, it's worth exploring other reputable brands like QNAP as well. Just make sure the device meets your specific requirements, such as a Celeron-based model for better performance with container applications and the option to expand the RAM if needed. We hope this helps, and feel free to reach out if you have further questions. Good luck with your NAS journey!
