First NAS purchase

#1
Hi!

I'm a video editor and photographer that is looking to purchase my first NAS. I currently use about 16TB of storage, and would like to plan for expanding to accommodate at least 24TB of media. I also plan to use it to store my film library and would like to be able to stream movies from it. My current setup is a mac studio with two 10TB WD MyBook HDD's for backup and a 4TB SSD drive that I keep current projects on for editing.

I've been looking at the QNAP TS 664 and the Synology DS923+ as possible options, with either the Ironwolf Pro or WD Red+ drives. I'm not afraid of spending time learning and setting up a system, but of course user friendliness is a nice bonus. I'm more concerned about reliability and want to make sure it's a system that will serve me in the long run. Any advice between those two systems - or is there another option I should be considering? And what amount of memory should I be considering - should I upgrade to 8G? 16G?

Thanks for any advice!
