Hi,
I am in 2 minds as to what NAS i should buy. Currently I have a 5 bay Synology NAS, that's quite old and no longer in support from it's current DSM version. DS1512 or something like that. I primarily use it for Backup and Plex. I was using Kodi in the past, but it became unusable in it's latest iteration. When switching to Plex, it is a good experience, but it is quite slow rendering the thumb tabs for shows etc. I dare not add my music collection / photos as I feel it's already a bit slow. So time to upgrade.
Primarily want a fast 4k media option, backup and if possible somewhere i can put Retropie?
I have my eye on either QNAP or Synology, either 5 or 6 bay, with potentially nvme drives (if QNAP). Expandable RAM if possible. What would you advise?
I already have the disks, sitting in my old NAS which I will have to migrate across (pain)
THANKS
