Currently configured with 3x 10TB with room to grow.
BTW, for straight NAS use, the 420 is not a bad deal at all. Dual core CPU is not amazing, but I think its only shortfall is that it doesn't come with 4GB RAM.
Also, on higher than Gbit speeds, sure, its great to have, but you have to consider the whole system/network, not just the NAS for it: do you have that NIC on your PC(s)? Do you have a switch for it? Do you have cables that are long enough or have you figured out cost for 10GBASE-T SFP+ to Copper RJ-45 30m Transceiver Modules? And yada yada yada. Cost of a 10G network goes far beyond a NAS with built-in 10G. We are looking into small business solutions (& cost and support etc).
Likewise, 2.5Gbe is not something the average user has access to, because there are no cheap consumer 2.5Gbe switches and the whole jazz and once you get to switches that do support >Gbit, you might aswell just jump to 10Gbe because most of them do offer SFP+ ports at that point...
What is an cheap option for better speeds - accessible for those what would have the ability to set up managed switches and 10Gbe to begin with - is a Realtek based USB 3.0 -> 2.5GBe adapter that there are drivers for it in DSM (https://github.com/bb-qq/r8152), and you could connect to your workstation directly with a 2nd USB adapter + use the Gbit ports to give it access to your network and internet. Under $100 solution. There are similar solutions with 5Gbe to USB Qnap adapters for extra cost, but 2.5Gbe is good enough for most 4-5 bay NASes. If you want more you should be looking into a USB -C DAS, perhaps with SSDs.

Is your home at 10gbe?
Agree. Right now it's $110 more for 2 cores more.
What are the other differences with the 920 besides the number of cores?

All my PCs, servers, NAS are in my 10GB network and transfer speeds are stupid fast.

449 vs 559... difference of $110 (not 60)
Also - many people are giving access to their NAS to family and friends (plex, etc) - reducing bottlenecks in bandwidth is critical for many uses. While many tech homes may have 1-2gbe internet service, having comparable speeds on your NAS is not necessarily enough.
