A few years ago, I splurgled for an 8-bay Synology NAS and never regretted it. It has been rock solid for the past 5 years, all drives in RAID6 I had some drive failures at some point (a bad WD batch) and even though I messed up and removed the wrong drive at some point, was able to get everything back. Normal drive replacement is painless (barring stupid human syndrome). It has Plex built-in and loads of other apps. I use it to automatically get a full and synched version of my dropbox account, it does my automated torrent download for me, and a host of other ready to use functions. Has data dcrubbing, drive health monitoring etc, with email notifications.
