Replacing QNAP NAS

#1
Hi,
I would like to ask your opinion to replace an old QNAP TS-859.
I got quite a lot of photos,movies,music that keeps growing.
I wanted something good enough to handle the backups of 3 laptops, some sync/Time Machine, be able to stream, using it as external drive for some hungry space video apps. Also start using VM on the NAS. Optional, but want to go for the QuTS Hero OS.
Having a HDMI is also a good plus, but not a deal breaker.
Wanting to keep on QNAP, but up for other options.
Saw the QNAP TS-673A, It will need some upgrades, biggest down, its that is an old model (over 3 year).
Also checked QNAP TVS h674, quite expensive, overkill, but future proof and no upgrades. Finally the Asustor Lockerstor 6 Gen 2, needs some upgrades, but don't know the brand.
Discarded Qnap TS-664 because you cant upgrade RAM.
Above all, want something reliable and with long time spam to next buy.
Thank you
