NAS Upgrade advise

#2
The Synology DS1621+ and DS1522+ are both good options for your use case. The DS1621+ is a more powerful device with a more robust CPU and more memory, making it better suited for demanding applications like virtualization or resource-intensive data management. However, the DS1522+ is still a solid choice for your media and data storage needs, and it should provide adequate performance for your use case.

In terms of speed, both devices should be able to fully saturate a 10 Gbps connection, provided that you have a compatible switch and NIC in your computer. However, actual performance may vary depending on factors like disk I/O performance, network configuration, and the specific workloads you are running on the NAS.

In terms of disk drives, both the WD Ultrastar He16 and the Toshiba Enterprise MG08ACA16TE are good options. The Ultrastar drives are designed for high performance and reliability, while the Toshiba drives are optimized for large-scale data centers and other enterprise environments. Ultimately, the choice between the two drives will depend on your specific needs and budget.

In terms of security, both Synology and QNAP are known for their strong security features and both offer robust options for protecting your data, such as encryption and firewalls. However, Synology is generally considered to have a stronger focus on security, and its DiskStation Manager (DSM) operating system is known for its user-friendly interface and robust security features.
