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).
