> Get a Synology Intel model with QSV if you plan to transcode video

How about if you _don't_ plan to transcode video? For example, this years models DS425+ uses the (six year old) Intel Celeron J4125, while the DS925+ uses the (seven year old) AMD Ryzen Embedded V1500B. Why choose one over the other?

That’s a damn good question. I’d probably go with the intel model that had qsv just in case. Especially compared to an equally ancient AMD processor that doesn’t.
