Hi,
I plan to buy my first NAS to replace my expiring WD My Cloud. It will mostly be used to centralize and back up all our media from our different devices. I think I will go with the QNAP TS-233. You made a great review of this one, and the AI for photos looks attractive to me, and the fact that they are powerful enough to be used as a Plex server is a plus for me.
I have two questions: Is it worth the extra money to wait and get the new TS-216G? Secondly, for the same performance with Synology, it seems I need to go with the DS224+, which is twice the price. Is their software really that much better? As my first NAS, I really look for simplicity. Will QNAP do the job, or should I really put more importance on the software and then go with Synology?
Thanks for your advice.
