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

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

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,

It depends on your load. It depends on your clients and the needs for transcoding. Without that information, we cant properly advise you - except in vague terms and concepts. From least powerful to most powerful, it will be: Shield, Synology, Minipc (depending on what you mean by minipc). I personal

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

I dunno. Old Synology DS1019+ and using my S25 Ultra I just tested (because I don't stream mobile often) and one of my folders has over 1000 movies and it loaded in under 2 seconds, probably closer to 1 second. I get your complaints but the Android app works fine for me. YMMV
