Hi, I'm looking for a 2-bay NAS for home. The main applications would be photos/videos storage, Android gallery backup, PC backup, modest streaming via Plex (1080p max for a while), modest torrent download. I'd install 2 pieces of 4TB HDDs in RAID1 for redundancy. I was looking at QNAP TS-233 and looking at this price range or a little above. I'm a little worried its hardware wont be enough. I watched the Terramaster F2-423 review and I like it but it's just tad more than I wish to pay. I found the F2-223 quite promising as it's a little cheaper than the F2-423 with really good specs. I'm just not sure about TM's software side. I saw the TOS5 is slightly getting better but I'd like good experience and usable android app for photo backup. Would you still recommend TM, QNAP or something else? Do you plan to review the mentioned T2-223? Hope I was clear enough. Thank You in advance!
