Hi, I really enjoy your videos, they're very helpful but I'm not very techie and could use some help please. I want to purchase a Synology NAS to save all of my family pictures and home videos, I also have a drone so will have some 4k footage as well. But I'm still not sure what NAS would work for me.
I was thinking about a 1522 or an 1821, I want to be sure I have enough drives for future needs, I plan on starting out with four 14TB Iron Wolf drives and using RAID 6. Here's my concern, neither of these NAS are good for transcoding, but do I need Transcoding for home videos & drone videos? I reached out to Synology's chat for help, but they referenced me to their FAQ's that didn't have the models I'm considering.
I'm very confused and don't want to mess up, any recommendations would be appreciated, thank you!
