In such cases, you need an offline solution, and Synology may have the best options. Synology has awesome NAS enclosures.

    I would not trust QNAP they had a lot very serious security issues in the past and have read only bad reviews about them.

      I bought a QNAP NAS and installed a nvme drive with openmediavault and upgraded the RAM, to my knowledge, Synology hardware doesn’t offer an easy way to do these changes.

      In the end all I needed was a NAS box with a CPU capable of transcoding and this was the cheapest/easiest option.

      I’m using 0 software from QNAP.

          24/7 and I did the change 3 months ago, the power consumption is low because I only have running a Jellyfin with 2HDDs and the processor is a celeron with low power consumption. No reason not to do it.
