Would just like to get my media off of my personal computers and have it saved in a secure place without the risk of data loss. 4TB should be more than enough for the time. I also need to be able to stream from the NAS. I grabbed a DS720+ earlier this year and it has been really good for that same purpose. Mostly because it worked for plex hardware transcoding. Last I knew, most of the play series only do hardware transcoding in the synology apps.

RestingB1tchFace posted:The 720 worth the extra for the upgraded CPU over the 220? I doubt I'd use the eSATA upgrade port. Probably if that time came way down the road....I'd buy an entirely new NAS. Maybe the SSD cache is worth the increase? I mean...it's only $100 more. I ordered the 220 first and then my wife talked me into just getting the 720+ since it would have a longer useful life. It was the difference between being able to transcode or use direct stream only in plex. It's also nice having the features of btrfs like snapshots.

IMO the choice between raid 5 and 6 has more to do with the size of the disks than the number of them. For example a 14TB drive takes a really long time to rebuild and it's a lot of constant thrashing for a 2nd drive on the verge of failure to tolerate.
