Don't listen to this fucking idiot.

I said a home NAS, not a server rack NAS.

QNAP is less expensive. Synology has the bigger community, though both are regular Linux boxes so it shouldn't really matter.

If you don't understand shit, get something Synology for step-by-step tutorials in getting things working. Otherwise just get QNAP for the lower price.

QNAP has HDMI output though, which makes it an actual PC. I haven't seen HDMI or any video output on Synology home servers yet.

Well if homebuilt is out of question anyway what kind of recommendation are you expecting?

These prebuilt ones usually only differ in bay count, power (cpu and memory) and IO.

Tell us what your usage scenario is.

Whoa buddy, that's some pretty advanced off-topic posting. You might want to get that looked at, make sure it's not spreading to your other organs.

Primary usage will be a backup destination, plex server host, general data storage. I've seen that synology has a bunch of extra apps, so I might see if I can host a VPN and some other stuff on it.

if your gonna run a plex server you'll want a real cpu if you are gonna be streaming to anything low power like a roku, apple tv like device.

way to hurt my feelings, faggot.

>>55765493
Why the fuck would I want HDMI?

>>55765713
so you can hook a screen up and see shit live my nigga

>>55765650
actually for Plex, I might get a Raspi and setup the plex server on there. That way it can do the transcoding.

It's a NAS not an HTPC.

so sure you can remote in or use their control panel but live feeds are still useful
