DiskStation DS1522+

I switched from a DS1522+ to a Ugreen 4800plus running Unraid, and I can’t say I miss anything. Once you get past the small learning curve, it’s perfectly fine. Another option would be ARC Loader with Xpenology. I tested that before Unraid, and it worked perfectly. I’m not sure about the backup prog

TBH, grab a Minisforum N5 Pro or another equivalent. Then you can run MUCH larger models on the Radeon 890M iGPU than on any consumer GPU. But you'd need a 3rd party OS (unraid or truenas usually) so overall don't expect any personalized support, not from Minis, certainly not from the OS developer.

i was in this same spot last year. what clicked for me was building around a SilverStone DS380B - it's 8-bay hotswap in a compact case that fits nicely on a shelf or even a 10" rack with adapters. got the DIY tinkering without the full sheet metal headache. if you lean pre-built though the Synology

I do homelabbing and have tons of VMs and containers, but for an NAS I valued brand reputation and "it just works". Went with a Synology DS1522+, of which I'm only using 3 bays right now. Anyhoo -- I'd recommend Synology or UGREEN, the former being the more established but now riskier brand due to r

I am using Roon(with my personal library+tidal), it's currently running on a DS1522+ in docker, but thinking of migrating it to a LXC in the future. The user experience is nothing short of amazing. The track selection it does on it's own is just light years ahead of any other music streaming service

Lol thats wild, the one that works for me still is my DS1522+. I just double checked to confirm, yeah it's on the latest. Linuxserver.io version: 5.2.0_v2.0.12-ls454 It also appears to be broken on my mini PC in my workshop, I'm getting connection refused there, not even the ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE Edit: w

Going all in, I love it. I have a DS1522+ that I have running two 16TB Synology Drives that I will keep running. UGreen is my primary unit. It's so easy to use and "just works" for my needs. I have about 80TBs on it. I got the Orico because I wanted to get into ZFS without going TruNAS, but I may en

Currently running both DS1522+ with DSM7.3 and TM F4-424MAX with TOS7 and I really love the hardware/software package. There’s no doubt that Synology/DSM has certain advantages over TM, but for the money, the value and ease of use really has TerraMaster being pretty competitive in many of it’s model

Chiming in because I own a DXP6800 Pro. And still use a Synology DS1522+ to back it up. Just because it was my NAS until this summer. See r/Synology for my experience with that unit, which I bought in June 2024 to replace a DS418play that had “backplane issues”. And I have around 8TB of family photo
