ReadyNAS versus Synology
I have an old ReadyNAS that has served me very well. I'd have to look at it, it might even have the name Infrant on it! Power supply died once and I replaced it and it's run perfect otherwise. Anyh...
Media server comparison is about the same. Both support PLEX and a large host of additional add-on media servers. You can use ReadyDLNA for both local and remote needs using the ReadyCLOUD mobile app. But if you use PLEX you can do this as well.
Surveillance: ReadyNAS Surveillance has a much more feature rich solution. emaps, post processing video enhancements (visibility, sharpness, brightness, contrast, and grey scale) , advanced alerts like camera disconnected, intelligent search (general motion, foreign object, missing object, loss focus, and camera occlusion).
File Server: ReadyNAS is able to take automatic block level snapshots of your data so you can go back to previous versions of files or even virtual machine images. You can enable a no-fee real-time antivirus solution to protect your data if you are moving content from the internet directly on to the NAS.
The largest ReadyNAS desktop unit is 6-bays. You can add expansion chassis to that if you need additional capacity.
If you haven't seen the new ReadyNAS OS 6 interface, I suggest going to www.netgear.com/rnsandbox
You can play with the interface and features. Look at the add-on apps available. Even install them.
