Santa (aka my wife and brothers) brought me a Synology DS412+ and 4x3TB WD Reds. I know what I'm doing for the next couple days...

Do you have anything specific in mind for it? A friend of mine is looking at a Synology DS214play or DS412+ for serving movies and backing up computers at his house. He's not sure if he needs the transcoding abilities of the DS214play or if the increased processing power of the DS412+ will be of any benefit.

His house is wired for gigabit ethernet and it's him, his wife, and two kids that'll be access movies on the device and using it for backups.

Thanks. He isn't going to be transcoding a ton of 1080p stuff. Most of the stuff is 720p or just "HD". He's not really on a budget so it sounds like the DS412+ is better for him.
