Hi everyone

Not sure if this is the right place but I'm starting to get into data hoarding a bit, though I'm still far off what most people here have. I'm at the point where I'm looking at getting some backup strategies going, and I think it's time for me to get a NAS.

I'm in Australia so I don't think I necessarily have as much access to things as elsewhere, and I'm also not good at DIY stuff so would prefer to buy something pre built.

I also already have a machine for things like plex and home assistant and stuff, so this NAS will be purely for backup, so I don't think I need anything too powerful?

I was looking at qnap or synology - I'm not hugely tech savvy so don't want to spend time tinkering with things. I've heard synology is easy to use so was thinking probably the synology DS423 since I want a 4 bay, but I'm open to other ideas depending on what people recommend. Then to top it off I'd probably get a couple of hdds to start things off

So my main question is around the NAS - is the 423 enough? I could get a 423+ but they're about $400 extra here for it, and for purely backup, I don't think I need the extra power it gives? Alternatively I could go for a qnap or another brand? Or if anyone has any advice, suggestions or recommendations, I'd really appreciate it all! Thanks in advanced!
