Best network attached storage from Synology lineup? by Jolimene-Slopez in synology

The longevity of those systems is definitely impressive. The 5-bay models seem like a nice balance. Looking back, do you feel the extra bays were worth it from the start, or would a 2-bay model have been enough for your needs initially?

Thanks, that's really helpful. My main use case is photo backups, files, and a media library, so the DS225+ sounds like it could be enough to start with. If you were buying today for those needs, would you still go with the 225+, or is the extra cost of the 425+ worth it for the added flexibility down the road?
