Purpose: Compare practical Synology containers for media, photos, home automation, DNS, documents and password-style services without overloading the NAS.
Direct answer: A media server can be unavailable for an hour with little consequence. DNS or home automation may be much more disruptive. Rank containers by criticality before putting every household service on one DiskStation.

Synology NAS product groups are NAS-only. Accessories are excluded. Use the canonical page for the latest or last-verified retained marketplace price and image evidence. Do not infer a live price from this file.
