Hello, I'm choosing a NAS for home use, primarily for photo backup and movie streaming (Full HD, occasionally 4K). The main criterion is that the NAS should be quiet (especially at night, when it's not in use) and have low power consumption. I would also appreciate advice regarding recommended hard drives. I was planning to use 4 x WD Red Plus 12TB in RAID5. I prefer the Synology brand. I’m hesitating between the DS423+, DS923+, and DS1522+ (I'm concerned the DS1522+ might be too noisy). I’m not in a hurry to buy, does it make sense to wait for new models? Thank you a lot!
