N150 are they really that good?
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

Can the N150 or N97 handle multiple 4K h.265 video streams at once, including possible transcoding?
Good idea. To be fair, I feel it will be relatively fast for my experience, considering I was using a DS918+, and now am using a DS1522+.

What did Synology users learn moving to Ugreen?
Yup. Same, I had a lot of ex-enterprise drives and was worried I'd be stuck one day. Plus the quality issues... I had some corrosion issues with a DS418play that was out of warranty, and after replacing it, I later tore it down and cleaned it. Then I realized how incredibly cheap and prone to corros

Might need to max out RAM once I get Docker / Containers fully up and running.
Yes, the Synology appears to be much more efficient. I run my Synology DS1522+ with it's max of 32GB of ram.

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

First NAS + Local AI Setup — Synology vs UGREEN vs Others?
Yeah, it feels like Synology has taking a step back from wanting to be the best nas manufacturer for consumers. Their focus definitely seems to be on software only. Most of their models are quite dated, but with that said, they seem to run a long time. Their naming nomenclature ends with the year th

Synology vs alternatives for a first, family-friendly NAS – worth it?
Even if your switch is 10 GbE, the NAS is the bottleneck • DS923+ – plus optional 10 GbE card • DS1522+ – plus optional 10 GbE card • DS1618+ – plus 10 GbE card • DS1819+ – plus 10 GbE card Above safe example for support 10GbE. If you buy 725+ 925+ latest. It won’t worth at all with 10GbE. I mean yo

How long have you spent on your NAS ?
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
