Check out SpaceRex on YouTube. He has a few beginner-focused videos and regularly mentions that filling up all the bays is a common mistake.

Would not recommend striping with 2 drives, if 1 fails, the whole array crashes.
There are multiple RAID configs that you can do with redundancy, some require rebuilding, some don't. SHR is good but you sacrifice some storage when creating more than 1 storage pool. It's better than typical RAID arrays, but there is a trade off still, it's not perfect.
can I replace the synology photos in place of photos app on iphone? meaning, when I take a photo, can I configure to save it directly to Synology cloud solution instead of icloud? thanks!!

Since then, I think Moments replaced Photos, and then Moments was replaced by a newer version of Photos. Maybe they've improved on their apps, but I haven't tried them. I'm still using (and paying for) the 2TB level of Google Photos.

The Ryzen will basically just stream the media using its native codec. The work around it is to have 2 copies of the same media, one high quality one and the other low quality which you transcode with a CPU in advance.
If you really need transcoding, go for the DS423+ instead of the DS923+.
Otherwise, this seems like a slick deal!
Have some amazon credits that I would like to use
and possibly video out in case you want to do true nas
or get one that has a slot for you to install a 10GB/s SFP+ or lan card

If you truely want to build a NAS to do VMs/ iscsi/smb and all sorts of backup/sync things look into True nas scale it is free. Build a 24 bay
keep synology just for cloud base stuff for set that up to host sync/backups/cloud data sharing outside you LAN since DSM is the most user friendly and will ensure your security is fool proof when setting up.
If you are still interested /stuck on synology get the 4 bay , spend the extra 100 bucks and get a 10GB lan card by synology.
it is completely stupid to throw in a bunch of enterprise drives to do raid 5 and then only get 150MB/s over your network.
Just does not make sense to spend this kind of money unless you find a better deal on synology 5 bay or 8 bay units that have 10GB lan already installed or you can buy a SFP+ or 10GB lan card cheap that is compatible. There are many enterprise SFP+ cards on ebay for 20-30 bucks that do 10GB/s
