DiskStation DS1019+

At 50TB, my media collection isn't easily replaceable with simply having Sonarr, Radarr, and Lidarr installed. I can't imagine how many hours I've put in building custom collections while also sometimes designing my own custom collection posters. Or how many versions of an old TV Show I've acquired

Yes I moved my Plex and other intensive apps off my Synology DS1019+ to a NUC M150 PC. Way faster. Just had to point libraries to different location.

I’ve been using a Synology DS1019+ (5-bay and ability to expand to another 5) for the past 6 years. I primarily use it for 45GB of Plex media on a SHR (Synology’s RAID with 1-drive fault tolerance). I disliked their photo implementation a few years back and haven’t tried it since. My trouble was tha

I’m running a Synology DS1019+ NAS, with 5 Seagate Ironwolf 10TB drives. It’s designed for 4K streaming/transcoding. I run Plex, Surveillance Station, store all my movies, TV shows, backup all my music, photos, and PC backups. It’s been running since Feb. 2019, 24/7, without issues. It even emails m

I have a small Plex Support YouTube channel. Many of my videos recreate other server owner issues to then show them visually how to solve their problems. I also show how fairly easy it is to move Plex Server from one OS to another. There are commercial NAS solutions and self install NAS options avai

Will double check those settings later but they sound similar to what I'm using. So to circle back. From what I understand, Directplay does not require a whole lot of cpu power. From a quick read up, it sounds like directplay is much more bottlenecked by network rather than the server's raw power. M

Nope… I own a DS1019+ with the DX Extension Bay and then several J models as my onsite backups for the DS1019+ with the Extension. I will not cast off the old equipment, but done buying their equipment to be forced into their high priced drives. I get their desire for the “Appliance” brand but they

I am using paperless in my Synology DS1019+. It works fine. I won’t say that it is lightning fast but good enough for document retrieval. The program and the documents are all on the NAS. In my case I have Docker installed on the NAS and then using terminal SSH into the NAS and setup the paperless d

I wouldn't use the nvme slots for cache. I'd install two compatible 1TB nvme drives to create a RAID 1 volume as the location to install Unraid packages, Docker containers, and VM's to. I'm running a test Plex server that was on a DXP4800Plus, and it's a really nice setup for Plex server. I have 18

They aren’t meant for transcoding. If you need to transcode stuff, then you need the right equipment for that. Even an old DS1517+ could direct play 4K no problem. Some older Synology systems have CPUs that can hardware transcode a few streams with no issues. I know someone with a DS1019+ that has t
