Maybe for security cameras in the future, but don't really do any transcoding or media serving.

Qnap and Synology seem to be the go-to ones.
I have a Synology too and I love it, but if I were to replace it I’d probably build something and run FreeNAS. I have an my old i7 that needs a new mobo but otherwise would work great. The Synology is small and quiet but I think they’re underpowered for what they charge.
