Just bought a Synology DiskStation DS1522+ after watching SpaceRex. What seemed like a great idea for iPhone backup, Photo/Videos backup and Media streaming, I am a bit unsure after seeing some reviews with Plex transcoding issue.Apart from the backups of many kind, my main use would be playing media in 4k HDR 77" & 65" OLED tvs in the LAN on SONY Android TV or Apple TV 4k. Have I made a right decision to go with DS1522+ ? Or Any other Synology would serve me better?

Fully recycling my comment about another Synology, here being even worse at 3281 Passmark CPU, probably they don't put in Coke machines CPUs this lame nowadays.

Unless I'm looking at the wrong box it's a Ryzen (so no hardware accelerated transcoding) with a very meager 4584 Passmark? That's really low if you want to actually do anything with it, I mean you wouldn't start building a PC anywhere close to that weak, heck even the ultraportables like Surface Pros are multiple times more powerful than that.

Thanks! I might consider retuning it if the seller would take it back.
