DiskStation DS1522+

A N150 PC is head and shoulders above a Synology NAS for running Plex Media Server. Use a Syno NAS for storage, but run PMS on a different system. The N150 is a more powerful CPU than the Intel Celerons or AMD Rxxxx CPUs used by Synology. Furthermore, the Intel Graphics in the N150 is more capable t

Thank you for your reply and sounds like I am on the same journey you have been on! Touch wood, Tailscale just works perfectly and Ive not noticed any issues with latency or packet loss, only with Plex, but then again the DS1522+ was never designed to do that well. For the containers, I only use Por

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

J’ai un synology ds1522+ et un autre avant ça. Points importants à regarder: que veux-tu faire avec ? si VM il va te falloir quelque chose de costaud acheter de la Ram ? Dernièrement, synology a eu beaucoup de mauvaise publicité car ils ont voulu imposer des disques certifiés synology et la non comp

Ubiquity is sort of a near future project for me regarding networking, door lock and surveillance, but I think I will stick with synology for the NAS solution.Yes it has an app store with plex included. It also has their docker solution (container manager), so you can basically host anything as long

What I would do differently:Purchase a NAS with an intel CPU that has QuickSync on chip for transcoding my media. I had found a good deal on Synology DS1522+ with AMD CPU and only realized a week later that I needed a transcoder. I then purchased an Intel NUC with a 16 core 12th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM

Well, this is a Mac thread so I won't "drag" you into the NAS world, but it all started some 4 yeas ago toward the end of the pandemic: my son had been using a Synology NAS since he and his family (4 young kids) had one at home. Having a NAS allowed him to control where they can go on the internet,

That's awesome to hear. I am also considering that one, but the RAM seems a bit low. Do you have the 2GB RAM? Considering the DS1522+, which I'm looking at, has higher end specs (in some areas such as RAM, significant), it appears I'll definitely be safe for multiple 4K streams with it. Here's the l

okay, laddie, buckle up cause i have some numbers for you 😅 i have run my DS1522+ with 18TB+ data and nearly 500k pictures the exact same way. i did it before reading the docs and didn’t know about the remote ML. good thing, i messed up my db backups, and had to do all over again so now i get to emp
