Hi,
I saw your videos where you compared the DS220+ with the DS220j and I have some questions. Apologies if these questions were covered in another video, I only recently started looking into NAS options.
-you mentioned that Synology's integrated software has face recognition for photos and some sort of AI. Could this be switched off completely/blocked? Would it be relatively easy to switch to another form of management software for it, if no? I really, really have serious privacy concerns regarding this and even so, I wouldn't want to pay for them to train their AI and facial recognition software
-what type of HDDs would you recommend? I was looking into WD Red, but I can't decide between the Red and the Red Plus (SMR vs CMR technology and also regarding noise for regular home use, such as a "cloud" backup for my phone and for my photos and various files)
Thank you kindly for your time and have a great day
Best regards,
Alex
