Synology DS216+ii or DS716+ii

Playground Hardware
#1

I am about to upgrade my NAS (from a Synology DS210j) for the purposes of using it as a DVR for Channels. I won’t be using the web GUI; I will only be using it with Apple TV and iOS.

Will the DS216+ii be sufficient for Apple TV/iOS use? Would the DS716+ii be overkill for this? I would never be watching more than 2 streams at once (and that would be rare). Commercial skip is appealing to me, however.

DS210j: 800mhz ARM + 128MB RAM (ouch)
DS216+ii: 1.6ghz dual core Intel Celeron N3060 + 1GB RAM
DS716+ii: 1.6ghz quad core Intel Celeron N3160 + 2GB RAM

I think you’ll be very happy with the DS216+ii

Thank you! I’ll save some $ and go with the 216+ii.
