My main issue is I'm leaning easy mode. I work with hardware and going into kids not sure i'm looking to become my own network administrator so i'm debating easy mode (QNAP, Synology). I'll also want to backup whatever i build/buy to a backup service like backblaze etc. Is it worth trading price efficiency for easy-ish? I design hardware for a living so figuring out how to setup a NAS isn't foreign to me, but is it worth the time investment as i'd be doing a lot of learning as i go which is a way of saying i'm capable of learning but don't know what i'm doing right now.
I'm looking for it to become my HDHomerun storage server, Plex, Photo Backup/Viewer from Phones/Camera, probably record a 2-3 IP cameras. I also like stability as if a service breaks my wife gets very pissy. I'd probably fill them up with 6 or 8 terabyte HDDs probably Iron Wolfs.
My main three options are:
DS1019+ -- Easiest probably, and cheaper NAS solution. Pros for me is the Hybrid Raid, Synology apps (replace lots of google aps). Cons are the weak and possibly less/unreliable hardware. I keep reading about synology power supply failures.
QNAP TVS-872XT-I5-16G-US -- Also pretty easy not on the cheaper end but if i'm going QNAP may as well get something a little more heavy duty. Pros are simplicity and more power and DS1019+ (has at least a little CPU power for some brute force work). Cons are much more expensive versus building something like this myself. Probably still questionable reliability. Is it overkill for what i'm doing. I do like i can probably upgrade the CPU Later.
Take my current 5820k add RAM use my Deep silence 6 case and run unraid or something else and get a new CPU/MB/case for my main rig -- I assume much more effort versus probably the most reliable and powerful (not sure versus new i58400T) Hardware
I don't like wasting money but i'd not have an issue funding any of these in the monthly budget.
