Choice of NAS

#1
Hello,

I just made the decision to buy a NAS.
Wants:
- regular backups(pictures, data, contacts etc.) from my Android and iOS device for different users without giving them access to all data on the NAS
- potentially media streaming in the future.
- I want it to be secure so I can connect remotely and replace dropbox and online storage.
- raid capability
- quiet

Nice to have:
- posibility to have vitual macine as I am learning linux
- VPN when travelling abroad
- upgradability and futureproofing capability
- software for sorting and tagging pictures
- managing duplicate files
- small form factor
- value for money

Based on the specifications you provided, the Synology DS920+ and the QNAP ts-464 are both good options for a quad-core Celeron-based NAS. Both devices have similar hardware specs and can handle multimedia streaming and simple virtual machines.

The Synology DS920+ is a 4-bay NAS that is powered by a quad-core Intel Celeron J4125 processor and 4GB of DDR4 memory. It supports up to 40TB of storage capacity, and it has built-in support for various RAID configurations, including RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, and 10. It also has advanced security features such as two-factor authentication, firewall, and VPN support.

The TS-464 is powered by an Intel Celeron N5095 quad-core processor and supports up to 16 GB DDR4 memory, two 2.5GbE ports and SATA 6 Gb/s drives.

In terms of security, Synology has a good reputation for its security features, with a variety of built-in tools and options to secure your data and network. However, both Synology and QNAP has many advanced security features, so you should research and compare the features that are most important to you.

Ultimately, both the Synology DS920+ and the QNAP ts-464 are good options for a quad-core Celeron-based NAS, and the choice between the two will come down to your specific needs and preferences.
