Hi all as the tittle says which one to go for i will be using it for the following not in order of priority just things i would like it to do

downloading torrents or trying sickbeard ect
main use using plex to stream to xbox one or roku
back up pc
back up my one drive

I was looking at these models because the ts-251 has a celeron cpu and supports plex but is the intel ato metter in the ds214play

another option would be HP gen8 microserver but i cant use raid on whs2011 and i am not that competant in server software as is was looking at freenas but i like the better look and feel of dsm and qts. I was all set to go for the qnap but i see on youtube whilst its more powerful the os isnt as nice as synology especialy been locked to what torrent sites it can use but its a good few ££ cheaper than a 214play then there is the 216play but it dont support plex

so in essence what way would you go for a nas/server unit for max £200 to run plex ect
