I currently own a DS218+ with 2x 4TB hard drives.
Currently using Synology Hybrid Raid meaning I only have 4 TB of storage available.
I recently ran out of storage and was considering my options:
1) Replace 4TB drives with 8/12 TB drives.
2) Buy a 4 bay unit (DS423+, DS920+, DS923+) with 4x 4TB drives
3) Run plex on other device and use NAS only for storage & surveillance station
4) Any other recommendations ...
I mainly use the device for:
- Photo back-up
- Plex media server
- Surveillance station (1 IP, probably will add 3 more in the future)
- (some dockers containers)
- (file back-up)
I was considering buying the DS923+, but since I mainly use it for Plex and it doesn't have an integrated graphic CPU I didn't yet. My current setup doesn't have it but this does cause some issues sometimes when streaming from Plex.
Any advice?
Thanks in advance!
