Hi Team,
Hoping to get some advice/recommendations for my first NAS purchase.
My use-case will be mainly storing media (movies, tv shows, music). I'm currently using an assortment of external hard drives to store my data and copy locally whenever I need access to a file.
I would like to be able to access the files via my Macbook, PC and Android TV box via VLC.
A nice to have is also to set up a Jellyfin server for media access.
I've already bought two HDDs in anticipation of setting up a NAS which is the 'WD Red Pro 18TB' so compatibility will be needed.
The first option that I have seen is the Synology DS224+ but after some digging on your website/youtube I saw the Ds720+ as also a potential option, would appreciate your steer on pros/cons and future proofing (as much as possible)
Also open to QNAP if you feel it's a better option for me.
Any recommendation would be appreciated
