Depending on your TV setup and codec used for your source of media transcoding is or isn't needed. That's why some people think 'it works'
A while back synology switched to AMD with no built in graphics. Some of the units on sale here are the bottom of the barrel cpu that's neither AMD nor Intel nor does it play 4k or 1080p even.
QNAP TS-464 has everything you need for Plex but little expensive.
FYI: 4k transcoding is mostly needed when you want to play your Plex content on mobile/ipad (assuming you have plex pass). On home TV, you rarely need 4k transcoding.
For non-Plex users , most of the NAS are fine.

I have a DS220+ lined up via facebook marketplace for $150. Seller says its lightly used, we've swapped a bunch of messages about general NAS stuff and I trust him that it's in good condition.
I was waiting to see if we'd see a deal on the DS224+. With tax I figure the DS224+ will cost about $125 more than the used DS220+.
Is the DS220+ still a good value at $150? Or is the 224+ enough of an upgrade that I should splurge for it?
I also need to buy hard drives, and I am going to use an old very low power 12" macbook m3 powered laptop for plex. I'm not so worried about the computing aspect with the DS220+.
I will just use the synology for file hosting, backup, misc. neat stuff I assume I can run through docker.
What are some advantages for QNAP over synology? How's their version of DSM? Can you run docker and sabnzbd, etc. on it?
