Thank you for pointing me in the right direction. The synology looks great especially with the ability to expand. It’s a bit pricey but fits my needs perfectly. The hardware sounds great too. I watched your video on the native synology DS video app and it looks like a viable alternative to Plex. Could I […]

How would the Asustor AS6302T compare to the QNAP TS253Be? The Asustor has the outputs that I want (HDMI 2.0 and S/PDIF), but I’m unsure about the rest of the hardware setup, including the CPU. In your opinion would the Asustor have the same speed and capacity as the QNAP? I may delay my decision […]
