DiskStation DS1525+

The script adds whatever drives you have to the compatibility list. NVMe drives need to be on the list to be used for cache creation or storage pool creation for x25 Synologies. There's no real distinction there. More info: https://kb.synology.com/en-us/DSM/tutorial/Drive_compatibility_policies If thi

Get the Synology DS1525+ Because for your use case—multiple Mac users, Time Machine backups, Plex playback to a TV, photo access, some camera recording, and wanting this thing to last 7–10 years—the extra bays, expandability, and slightly more capable hardware of the 1525+ make a meaningful differen

Even with the push for "branded drives" in a Synology, I'd be moving that way if I were you. I have a Synology 5-Bay DiskStation DS1525+ (Diskless) that I got off Amazon for $699 (Now $799) back in July of 2024. I populated it with 16Tb Ironwolf drives. Never been happier. I migrated all my Drobo 5S

Synology has a help page for this: https://kb.synology.com/en-global/DSM/tutorial/Drive_compatibility_policies But if you'd like an anecdote I drive-migrated 4x 20TB WD Red Pros from my DS416play to a DS1525+ back on DSM 7.2. At that time Synology hadn't rolled back their drive restrictions yet, since

Pulled this from a chat gpt response of what you said above... The simplest “best fit” build for your numbers 4 bay NAS + 4 x 10TB or 4 x 12TB drives in RAID5 (or Synology SHR). • 4 x 10TB in RAID5 gives about 27TB usable • 4 x 12TB in RAID5 gives about 33TB usable That lands right in your 20 to 24T

My question is if I do not believe I’ll go over 95tb in the next 8 years is there any real advantage advantage to the 8 bay model, given that my wiring can’t support 25gbe? Nothing really notable, assuming you're already reviewed the comparison: https://www.synology.com/en-us/products/compare/DS1525

I have a pair of 1TB WD Red SN700 in my DS1525+ in a SHR (RAID 1) volume. At the moment I only use it for the Container Manager app itself and as a bind point for my Docker containers. I'm using less than 5% of the total available space so 250GB or 500GB drives would have worked for this too. I have

This is why I said the DS1525 is not quite perfect for running a larger capacity HDD in a space pool. Get on the Synology space calculator to get it right for balance. No. Third-party RAM works perfectly and is much cheaper, timetec nemix etc search the match item for 2x 16G double sticks not single

Ha sido un infierno en los ultimos meses, yo incluso lo titularia "The NAS Wars" jaja En resumen: Muchos esperabamos los nuevos 2025 modelos de Synology, los sacaron, problemas: Hardware specs digamos que bastante viejos para el 2025, incluso el procesador es casi el mismo que el del pasado. Luego i
