Hoping to set up a general location to throw files.

It might be used as a storage dump for Plex too…

Recommendations?

Edit: the synology recommendations have won out. Went with the DS923+. Thanks for all of the thoughtful recommendations!

    If you want the best UX and polish, Synology

    If you want something rougher around the edges, QNAP

    You can always look into building a solution with something like unraid, truenas, or OMV

      If choosing Synology look into the Plus series (f.e. DS723+) or you end up with ARM CPUs and lose many of Synologys software goodies.
      Their Active Backup for Business software is a nice way to backup the household machines as an example.
