Hi, Big fan of your videos and wanted to see if I could get some guidance on buying a new NAS. I'm replacing a Drobo 5N and want to hold at least 300-400 movies and TV shows or more. I believe most of files are MKV or Mp4 files. I've been looking forever for a Synology 9020+ but can't find them at all or way above my budget. So, Now I've been looking at the Synology 1522+ but worried about the lack of a graphics chip like the 9020+ has. I've went through a lot of your videos and it seems the 1522 holds up pretty well except for some really complicated big files. I wanted to know if the 1522 was a good option and more of an explanation on how to take the load off the cpu if possible if I used these files. In the video you mentioned the client side and I was a little confused if there was some way to mitigate not having you in this model or if it's even necessary. I would run everything from Mac Mini which I've should work. Thanks for any help you can offer. I appreciate it. -John
