DiskStation DS1019+

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

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

What’s your experience with performance? I run 2x Synology DS1019+ and have shared each volume over NFS. I have mounted the two shares on a proxmox VM and have merged them with MergerFS to a single /mnt/media folder, mostly for *arrs and qBittorrent. However convenient, downloading is really slow (s

Its not all about your server. You can have a low-powered system serve 100% quality. They key to that are your clients being able to play the media natively. Transcoding is not only a performance hit - its a loss of quality do to the on-the-fly lossy conversion. So, you want to inventory your media

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

Do what works best for you - but always try to keep in mind what you might need to do to scale. I run Plex on a Synology DS1019+. Its been perfect for my group of 3 users. All our playback clients are flavors of Android: Nvidia Shield Google Chromecast with Google TV Samsung Galaxy phones When it co

I came from a Synology DS1019+ to an Asustor AS6810T about 3 weeks ago (was planning on a DS1825+ until the hard drive lock in). What I like about the Asustor:Fast, tons of connectivity, standard docker implementation with portainer. Virtualbox for VMs. Use any hard drive :), Their Photo Gallery 3 w

I run Plex server on a Synology DS1019+ NAS, with five Seagate Ironwolf 10TB drives that I bought in 2018, running over a gigabit network. Runs flawlessly. I use the Plex client on my Samsung 65” TV, on Roku Ultra 4K in the bedroom on a monitor, (also from 2018) from a web browser on my desktop PC,
