Hi all,
I have a DS218+ which has been working great, running 2x6TB WD Red Plus. I mainly use it to backup from 2 PCs, share Photos, 2 security cameras, and HEAVY Plex use! I am slowly running out of space, and my only option is to replace both drives with larger drives as I cannot add another, plus DS218+ is not great at playing 4K, or high bit-rate 1080P+DTS movies.
Questions:
- If upgraded to DS920+ would it do better on doing 4K video and high bitrate movies/DTS?
- If I just added ONE more 6TB to DS920+ with my current drives, do I get 12TB immediately?
- What other benefits do I get from DS920+ and is it future proof for hosting more and more 4K videos, and being a long term backup solution?
- Any other options costing less?
- Should I wait for next generation of 4-bay drives?
Thanks
