cannot decide on a home use nas - Enquiries - 01-08-2023 i have watched many of your videos but still cannot decide on the nas for me and in the past i had a western digital my cloud 4tb nas this met all my needs in a single disc config until wd made the product end of life on new device i will place all file types on new nas as before but this time round i want to take cine films and digitise them and also my dv videos from holidays on video camera i would edit on laptop and copy finished video to nas, not edit from nas after i have them as digital video files (not 4k) i want to place them on nas to watch on my phone or smart tv i would also like to share the films out via a shortcut to my family so they can access my nas on their smart tv and play movies they may be in from 40yrs ago i could do this in past with wd my cloud i have shortlisted to qnap ts-233 or synology models ds218,ds218 play,ds220+,ds220J but i do not want to pick a device that may be end of life soon on error was going to add seagate ironwolf 4tb disk (x2) RE: cannot decide on a home use nas - ed - 01-09-2023 DS220+ still has around 8 years left for the software updates. Synology usually support their NAS for 10 years. The latest model is ds923+, but it will only stream 4k locally. Remote access is limited to 1080p. DS220+ can do 4k remotely. I hope this helps. |
