Help choosing a Rack mounted NAS

Hi All,

TL;TR (Or whatever the abbreviation is for here's the main info)

I am looking for a 4 bay NAS Rack mounted - for around £1500 with 24TB Iron Wolf drives

Looking at the Synology RS818+ which fits this purpose - Any other suggestions or anything better at same price ?

Must be compatible with PLEX (Intel Processor)

FULL STORY

Ok, I have currently a small 6TB Buffalo drive (3TB as Raid 1), I am looking to upgrades as a small business to a rack mounted NAS to go in the server cabinet (OK i will be honest its one of those "Its for the Business") but i will also be using it to run PLEX,

Im verry new to all this and learning as i go.

I can get a RS818+ with 24TB for £1500, which was great as i was first looking at the 815 model but found this did not have an Intel chip set and was not compatible with PLEX.

But now i have been looking more into it and found that there are a few issues with the them not working and breaking after a bit. 818+ model.

My biggest question is are they Decent? and or any recommendations for another NAS at that price point rack mounted ?

Preferably 4 RJ45s on back for faster transfer.

Any help would be greatly appreciated as like i said im very new to this and have been winging it this far.

Thankyou in advance
