I am looking into getting a NAS setup at home, but have to consider wanting it to just work and work for my family who are not technically advanced. They use computers fine, but being asked to open a terminal would require letter by letter instructions.

So my question, what is the current recommendation for a simple home NAS for files and video (family trips, etc) storage?

    Synology DS920+ or DS1520+, either one.

    You’ll find each step of the process mostly handheld with great guides online for pretty much anything you would ever wanna do with a NAS.

      Last time I checked it was quite hard to get my hands on a DS920+. The more recent DS923+ does not have the same specs, the main drawback being that it’s not able to do hardware transcoding anymore (useful for multimedia server).
