I'm using the Synology DVA 1622, 2 bays with 8 TB drives and a 14 TB USB backup drive. I bought it for the excellent camera surveillance software, but it only has 1GB Ethernet, and I'm finding that I'd really like 2.5GB Ethernet to match my new mesh Wi-Fi routers. So I'm keeping my eye out for a good deal. Other than that, it's been a solid system for almost 2 years now.
BUT there is a driver package on GitHub that's supposed to convert the USB port on certain Synology NAS models to 2.5GB Ethernet. If there's a guaranteed way to revert after the install, I may see if I have the nerve to try that...
Edit: The DVA 1622 does transcoding, and works great as a Plex server with my old 2-antenna Silicon Dust HD HomeRun Connect.
