Hey everyone,

I'm looking to get my first NAS and could use some advice on choosing between the Synology DS224+ and the UGREEN DXP2800. I'm completely new to NAS setups, so ease of use and reliability are important to me.

My main use cases:

  1. Photo storage & easy access (ideally with a user-friendly app - right now I am using Google Photos)
  2. Document storage & organization
  3. Centralizing my large music collection (currently scattered across multiple HDDs)
  4. Experimenting with Plex/Jellyfin (not sure yet if I'll need transcoding)

I’d love to hear from those who have experience with either of these NAS models. Which one would be a better fit for a beginner? Are there any major downsides to either?
