Thanks for reaching out! If you're looking for a user-friendly and reliable NAS to store your digitized media, I recommend the Synology DS224+. It's an excellent choice for first-time NAS users and will meet your needs as you grow your storage requirements.

Why the DS224+:
Ease of Use: Synology is known for its intuitive DSM software, which makes it simple to set up and manage.
Expandable: The DS224+ has two bays, but you can expand your storage as needed. It supports both RAID 1 (for redundancy) and other RAID configurations.
Performance: It has a powerful processor for smooth media streaming and file management, making it a great option for playing your digitized media.
Media Streaming: You can easily set up Plex or Synology Video Station to stream your movies and videos to various devices like your TV, phone, or tablet.
Low Power and Noise: The DS224+ is energy-efficient and quiet, perfect for home use.
With your current 5TB of media, the DS224+ will offer a solid start, and as your media library grows, you can expand it with additional drives.

Based on your needs, I can advise suitable solutions, from Synology/QNAP NAS to self-built servers with TrueNAS, Unraid, or Proxmox.
