Moving forward from QNAP TS-673

[Enquiries]

Dear Eddie / Robbie,
I am wathich your youtube channel and already found a lot of valuable information that helped me with my QNAP TS-673.
As I plan to move forward, I started thinking about Synology NAS (my sister got for her business 923+) and I liked the simplicity of Synology.
I am puzzled if I should stick with QNAP based on my new requirements.

NAS requirements:
- min 4 bay, 6 is OK
- 4 CPU cores (preferred)
- sync between NAS same brand (over internet too)
- backup email and workspace (google), data, photos
- video pass-through (Does Ryzen has it?)
- multimedia streaming
- survileance 2-4 cameras
- user friendly interface, straighforward, responsive, smooth experience
- good tech support
- min 2.5GB lan or PCI port
- virtual machine (1 is OK)
- encryption of data
- nvme ports (option)
- integrated GPU (preferred)
- no need to buy additional licences
Not needed: scalability, video editing
Don't like about QNAP: slugish, not intiutive, for IT geek, security issues.
Thank you
