New to NAS - What are the recommended solutions? - eviltoast

So, I am thinking about getting myself a NAS to host mainly Immich and Plex. Got a couple of questions for the experienced folk;

  • Is Synology the best/easiest way to start? If not, what are the closest alternatives?
  • What OS should i go for? OMV, Synology’s OS, or UNRAID?
  • Mainly gonna host Plex/Jellyfin, and Synology Photos/Immich - not decided quite what solutions to go for.

Appricate any tips :sparkles:

    First I chose a Pi now am using a Nuc as a NAS.
    Reason for why: The price was too much for a synology + transcode capable CPU as it wasmt clear what type of processor was being used.
