Hi there! I am about to upgrade my NAS (for now an old 2bay one) to adapt it to my needs. Some key facts: - 4bay NAS - no transcoding - encryption So the DS415+ is basically what I am looking for .. but somehow I am not ready to pay >500€ for that kind of case. The alternative would be an Skylake-based NAS that would cost me about 300€ + having the possibility to further upgrade if needed (CPU Power- and >4bay-wise). The other alternative would be the DS416j - in that case encryption is not possible .. and the CPU Power is really low end So what would you do? Get the low end DS416j? Pay the extra cash for 415+ or build your own NAS with Xpenology? I know I am in the Xpenology forums .. but I still hope to get some constructive advice. Did someone switch back to an original Synology (for what reason?)? Have you switched from an original Synology to Xpenology - why & how is the impression? Thank you in advance guys!
