Yes, it sounds like you would benefit from models such as DS920+ or TS-453D. Something like truenas requires too much attention and maintenance. It is better to stick with leading NAS brands where they add support, bug fixes, and new functionality every month.If your new TV is 4K compatible then transcoding is not required. But if you do have some mobile devices or older TV, using a built-in Video app instead of Plex will allow even 4K conversion on the fly.Moving a RAID from one brand to another is not that easy. The same brand is often as easy as sliding those drives into a new case. But otherwise, you will need to rebuild a RAID and copy data over.Regards to the photos, Synology and Qnap have similar apps, but Synology has more invocations going on on their software side. They also are releasing their new Photos app which is tempting.I hope this helps.
