- A NAS provides a central location for storing and accessing files, making it easier to manage and share data across all devices in your home.
- NAS can serve as a reliable backup system, safeguarding important data from loss. This includes automatic backups and version history capabilities.
- If you have a large media collection, a NAS can serve as a media server, streaming music, movies, and photos to devices around your home.
- NAS allows you to access your files from anywhere with an internet connection, making it great for remote work or travel.
- Fun and Learn - If you enjoy tinkering with tech, setting up and managing a NAS can be a fun, rewarding project that gives you a deeper understanding of networking, storage, and server management.
I use NAS for all of the above!!

A small form factor power sipping backup target would be great for my Synology. Was your machine preassembled or did you put it together?
And do you keep it running all the time or does it wake up to sync?

I've found that Synology is just setup and I get to play with the more interesting/fun stuff or just let it run in the background (while occasionally monitoring backups).

The end goal is to get another synology at a different house and let it sync at night.
ransom ware can be handled with btrfs and snapshot in synology. Haven't happened to me yet, but a few people say it would work. I set it for nightly and save for 60 days.
(I own a DS220+ which does support transcoding, but it has never needed it. Everything in my Plex is h.264 or h.265 encoded, in a mix of .mkv and .m4v files.)
If you set up your volumes in WORM mode (write-once) it's more likely to withstand ransomware, but even then, don't count on it. WORM mode is meant to make compliance with certain laws and regulations easier, not as a security feature.
The 23 line is more catered to small businesses. And not just in the hardware (CPU), but also the included applications are slightly different and much more business-oriented.
The 23 line isn't a successor to the 20 line, but a fork.
