Ideally one that can use more than one disk so that i can expand it later when i can. Have some minimal experience with Synology since there's one at work and i have interacted with it a couple times and like the interface, but am not married to any brand as long as it works.

Located in EU if it makes any difference.

I've been running a Buffalo 220, 2 bay drive for over 6 years now. I use it to host my Plex media non-stop for that time. Only issues are sometimes when there is a power loss, it gets unmounted or gets reassigned a new IP from the router, but thats mostly me not assigning a static private IP. I believe the one I have only allows for max 8TB but I think it can go up to 16TB. Do not know what the prices are in EU but it similar or slightly cheaper than Synology in price. https://www.buffalo-technology.com/productpage/linkstation-ls220d/
