I understand there are other expenses for extra RAM and disks but should I get something like this or wait for sale on DS220+ (or 720/920+)
Any suggestion on what would be a good buy for my use case ?

New Synology products will be released this year. I wouldn't spend my hard earned cash on a product that's 4 year old at this point. Either buy one of the newer models or wait a bit for them to go on sale.
Synology 220+ came out in 2020.. and they should have 222+ coming out this year. 218+ came out in 2018.. so this tells you how their release cycle works.

You should ask yourself, what will I do with my NAS? For most people, QNAP provides more than enough features and security. If you're a networking expert or sys admin, you may want something more advanced, but that is not most people.

The main question is, what do you want? If you want a DIY project, maybe these are not right for you. If you want something that does RAID 1, can safely backup your stuff, and has a web server and many automation features, perhaps the QNAP is a better bet. It works out of the box with no fuss. For me, that's a positive.
Though one could argue that it may be cheaper to just get 2 4TB drives and do RAID 1 (4TB total) than get 3 2TB drives to get 4TB RAID 5.

On a separate note, I installed a 14TB drive that i schucked from an external WD drive and the NAS itself is noticeable loud when it is operating and would not recommend installing in an area like your living room since the noise can be bothersome.

I bought the QNAP from Amazon that I posted here. I'm setting it up soon. I'm curious if it will be any louder than the one I already have.
