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

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+.

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

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 ?

Was thinking this or getting a Synology ds1522+. The mini PC seems like it's more powerful than the nas?

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

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

I started with a Synology DS1522+ found it a bit lacking in power. Sold it to a m8 and bought the 4800 plus. Used the sames NVMe and bought new drives. I was lucky to have all my media on an external drive. Set it up and copied my data back Unraid will wipe the drives when you make the pool. So it w

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
