Hello, I'm looking to replace my Synology 918+ with a newer model, preferably with 2.5G or 10G network speeds to match my HDDs. I plan to purchase 20TB or 22TB drives. Currently, I use my 20TB for all backups, Plex, and would like to host books. I have a separate 20TB for Blu-ray rips and another 20TB for retro gaming, which I'd like to centralize. I'm considering either two QNAP/ASUSTOR units with n5105 processors, an ASUSTOR Lockerstore Gen 3, or other potential solutions. Ideally, I'd like to run a modded Minecraft server using Crafty or Pterodactyl, and handle 4K Plex transcoding of my Blu-ray rips.
