Ideally one that can use more than one disk so that i can expand it later when i can. Have some minimal experience with Synology since there’s one at work and i have interacted with it a couple times and like the interface, but am not married to any brand as long as it works.
Located in EU if it makes any difference.
I’ve been happy with a Synology 2 bay model from couple years back.
Some features in the DiskStation Manager 7 seem to want more horsepower. Depending on the usage one may choose one of the + models to get more speed.
