Thank you for watching my videos, I'm glad they have been helpful to you. Based on your storage needs and usage requirements, I would recommend the Synology DS423+. It has the same specs as the DS920+ but at a lower price point, making it a more cost-effective option for your situation. It has enough power to handle 4K movie transcoding and remote streaming, and can also run various packages like SABNZBD, CouchPotato, Sonarr, and Transmission. Additionally, Synology offers mobile apps that allow you to manage your NAS remotely, which may be useful for your situation.
I hope this helps, and please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns.
