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

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 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

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

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,

I’ve been running the Plex server on a Synology 5-bay DS1019+, upgraded from a 2-bay unit. No transcoding, no blips, no hiccups, no issues since 2018. That’s my only experience, so I recommend it.
