About this deal:
Price good until 11/15/2021 11:59pm ET
Our research indicates that this offer is $12.90 lower (7% savings) than the next best available price from a reputable merchant with prices starting from $172.89
As a courtesy during the busy holiday season, we have extended our usual 30-day limit on returns and exchanges. You have until February 1, 2022 to return or exchange items purchased after October 18, 2021 through January 2, 2022. All other standard return policy conditions apply.
Just depends on your needs. Will you use the faster CPU or the additional RAM? Will you run a dedicated storage network (aka need the additional port)? If so, yeah, get the 220+. Otherwise, for most home use, the 220J will be fine and is a good deal. They run the same software...
For my use case - backing up photos, videos from phones via plex pass & occasional document/files backup from my pc and mac, is this good enough? Need something that I can use for atleast for the next 5 years
This was $135.99 Nov. 25th, 2020 at B&H. I just use it for music but seems fine. Perfect for my uses. If you are looking for transcoding you have to spend the money for it. The newer OS (DSM7) seems a little bit faster but if you use USB audio dongles and some other quirky, non-core, DSM features you'll lose out if you go to DSM7. It doesn't state which is installed on this one. I assume it ships with DSM6 since 7 only came out officially in the summer.
Ram is incredibly weak on this device. Pass. Having several qnap now, I recommend getting only devices with expandable memory. Running one with 32GB and another with 12GB. Having extra ram speeds Raid rebuild, allows running container station with dockers or sync threads running.

IMO this model is too slow for anything else.
NAS with 2 bays is always better than a single bay (Having a single drive is just begging for data loss).

Wait for 220+
Why? 220+ is faster? Can this handle plex 4K files?

Edit: Geez sorry, wrong year. It was 2020.
JK, probably fine if you just need a place to store files via a local network
