So it came to my attention last night that my thrown together array of external hard drives are nearly full. I think I'm around the 3-4 TB range right now. I've got less than 10 GB free and with storing music, movies, and tv shows on this drive, it's not likely to last much longer.
I've been considering the following options for a NAS that I can move all of my media to as well as use it for backing up the various laptops that live in my apartment:
Synology DS418
Synology DS218+
I'd like to keep it budget friendly, but don't have an actual budget for this. I'd rather have more space than I'll ever likely need rather than have to upgrade in 2 years. Besides using it as backup storage, I do run multiple Kodi instances throughout my apartment so I'd need to be able to incorporate the media folders on the NAS as sources within Kodi.
I don't plan on streaming anything to mobile devices or outside of my home network. What's your recommendation?
