Current config: Synology DS220+ with 2 Ironwolf Pro 16TB HDD. Have several TB in photos (RAW & Jpeg), a few TB of videos, etc.
Need to upgrade to a larger unit with 4/5/6 bay.
Watched nearly 30-40 hours of your videos on youtube and read several articles on your website.
Shortlisted: Synology DS1522+ (or DS923+), QNAP ts-664 (perhaps Asustor AS7606t).
Based on your review of DSM, I would have gone with ds1522+, but has the following concerns:
i) Ironwolf Pro 16TB HDD is not officially supported;
ii) no SSD storage pool
iii) lack of hardware video encoding - not major as I don't currently use Plex
iv) need an Ethernet switch with 4port LAG (or $$$ for a 10Gbe card)
I like QNAP's hardware spec, but no BTSFS support (and to a lesser extent, QTS).
What NAS would you recommend for (mostly) photography use?
