I like Synology a lot but mainly use it for storage/backup. It's a very expensive way to host containers IMO. I would look to a Mac Mini for something like that

- Tijdreiziger 4y agoThanks. My main use-cases are file/photo syncing, media server, etc. I saw that Synology has first-party apps for those things, so that would be the main draw for me.
- drittich 4y agoEven as a media server I personally find it too expensive to buy one that can handle 4K transcoding, frequently needed for subtitles. I just use Synology to server the files and run Plex on a separate machine.
- Tijdreiziger 4y agoAh, I see. Roughly what kind of hardware do you need for 4K transcoding? (Sorry if it's a beginner question, this is totally new to me.)
