Hi there!
I want to set up a NAS at home. Uses will include storage of family files, photos and misc. documents + Plex server. I'm not much of an IT tinkerer, but am interested in it.
I've watched several of your videos (Thanks!). QNAP seems to have better overall HW, Synology has the SW and UI advantage. Normally, I would go QNAP and brave the SW shortfall, but I'm nervous about any data security issues. I know that QNAP has a history of cyber attacks.
1. In your professional opinion, are there steps that can be taken to effectively mitigate data security concerns of QNAP devices?
2. Has QNAP improved on its cybersecurity at all in 2023 (most of the news about cyberattacks was at the beginning of '23)?
3. If I decide to go Synology, I'd like the iGPU of the intel chips for Plex streaming and therefore am debating between the 423+ and 920+. Am I better off going with the 423+ given that its a newer model and may last longer?
Thanks so much - love your content!
Will
