Should I buy the DS425+
I am currently using a DS212j NAS with WD Red drives. Due to its age, the Plex media server is no longer working correctly. My intent is to upgrade to a 4-Bay Synology NAS and migrate the existing disks, plus add two larger disks to form 2 Volumes. I was interested in the DS425+ but internet...
