slightly reworded to remove subjective apps question and make it clear the user wants reliability as a key metric in the recommendation

I am looking for a Nas for home use.

my needs :

  • data Storage (Photos, Videos, Etc.)
  • Multimedia server (streaming, Music)
  • Surveillance station (communication with cameras)

I've been searching for a couple of weeks and now i am hesitating between two brands : Synology and QNap and precisely two NAS : the Synology DS216+II and the QNap TS251+

The QNap Hardware looks more interesting : 2GB RAM upgradable to 8GB, Quad Core CPU, the Synology 1GB RAM not upgradable and dual core CPU. Both NAS have almost the same price.

It will be my first Nas so i don't have any experience with none of the two brands. 

Which Brand is more reliable ? And which one have the best apps product meets my needs and has better reliability?
Any help would be appreciated.
