Currently have a DS920+ and it's working great with 4-18TB drives. I NEED a backup solution though as I'm adding films that are UHD (about 50-90 gigs) and I'm at about 25% that's not currently backed up. After watching/reading a bunch of your stuff (and other sites), I think I've come to the conclusion that instead of buying a Synology DX517 to use as backup--I'd buy another Syn NAS for that. However, I share my Plex library with family and a couple of friends, SO I'd use the 920+ as a transcoding NAS/backup and a newer 923+ as a local Plex server/backup that wouldn't need transcoding (the 923+ has a Rizen) as I'm using an Apple TV and I've connected the NAS to it with Ethernet. I would hope that I could use the 923+ locally and still get my 4K films to play without issues. I hate that Syn can't improve their current lineup, but I'm more comfortable with their GUI. Would this be the way to go for my use case? I need to move soon as I'm nervous about my lack of backups.
