Migrating from Synology: What would I probably be missing from DSM?

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

What I'm running on my DS1522+

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

First NAS + Local AI Setup — Synology vs UGREEN vs Others?

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.

Music server

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

Docker + 5.2 = ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE???

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

TOS vs DSM

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

UNAS NFS MAC mini arr stack questions

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

Ugreen 5 Bay USB C RAID Hard Drive Enclosure

I own a Synology DS1522+ and when I first thought about adding a $500 expansion box, for the money, I just decided to buy an additional nas. I like the idea of having another 4-5 bay nas that can do a lot more than just a box that can only do one thing for a similar price.

advice on choosing a NAS for professional photography

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
