According to our NAS expert
The Synology DS420+ is a powerful NAS for at home. You install up to 4 hard drives. Unlike its predecessor the DS418, the DS420+ also has 2 built-in M.2 SSD slots. You can place 2 NVMe SSDs to create an SSD cache, which makes your NAS many times faster. In addition, the Synology DS420+ has a Dual-Core Intel Celeron with a high clock speed of 2.9GHz. This way, you can stream, open, and move files nice and quickly. With 2GB RAM, you can do several things at once on the NAS. For example, you can stream an HD movie to your TV via Plex while you make a backup of your computer. The 2 Gigabit Ethernet ports double your potential internet speed. You get a 5-year warranty if you register on the Synology website within 30 days.

I've always heard a lot of positive things about Synology's versatility, and it's absolutely true. For the more experienced programmer, the NAS comes with many options, absolutely great! The NVR/surveillance option has been disappointing so far, because of the support for MacOS Big Sur, where the surveillance agent is not supported.

As a Synology user since 2008 I am happy with my 3rd box. This time opted for more HDD and more speed. So far very satisfied with the product. With 4x 8TB IronWolf Seagate, 2x Samsung EVO 970 SSD and memory upgrade, it is a lot faster than the DS211 that has been replaced. The installation of the DS420+ is simple and fast, and also improves compared to the DS211. Good for the next 7 years.

This is now my 3rd Synology in the last 12 years. Synology is expensive, but offers value for money. I recommend this NAS to everyone. Perfect for both pros and IT laymen. It is easy to set up and includes many services such as your own drive (like Google drive), VPN server (both client and server), supported Plex and much more... All free of course. A reliable solution.
