Hi!
I'm looking for a 4bay NAS to
1) store and edit my photos on
2) run Plex, got a modest collection of movies, a bit of music and audiobooks
The Synology 920+ and 923+ are out because of their comparatively worse connections (and lack of GPU in the 923, I will be using hardware acceleration via PlexPass)
The 4 bay Lockerstor 2 and the ts464 cost the same in my region, and have very similar specs as far as I can tell.
The asustor is metal and hence a little louder, but has more m.2 slots, looks less appealing, but has that LCD screen.
I don't care about surveillance nor AI-anything.
Which way would you recommend I go?
