DiskStation DS1821+

well - Synology has removed the DS1821+ from their website, so I cannot tell you what is the largest supported drive. On the current models - DS1823xs+ and DS1825+, they are only officially supporting Synology drives, not Seagate or Western Digital or Toshiba. There were some drives that were suppor

you are not doing anything with a 4 drive NAS. the suggestion below of the 1821+ is a good suggestion if the DS1821+ was still being made, but today it's the DS1825+ or DS1823xs+. And for these models, you have to use Synology branded drives, which are double the price of a Seagate EXOS or Western D

The $/GB still favors spinning disks. My Synology 1821+ with 10GigE, NVME cache drives and 100TB of spinning disks still gets 1000MB/s read & write speeds so I can edit uncompressed 4K video.

Same boat here. DS1821+ has yet to let me down with dozens of Docker containers and other servers running.

Do NOT use exfat for extended use on both systems. It is not journaled, and is therefore very easy to corrupt. I lost many terabytes during my Mac to PC switch by using exfat drives. I believe the only appropriate use for exfat is to write data once, read it once, and format the drive for the next u

Good morning. Your "Synology rep" - really ? using an iSCSI LUN has nothing to do with remote editing.

Nur mal so zum Einschätzen, synology hat den Nachfolger des DS1821+ nahezu unverändert gelassen, der einzige Unterschied sind die Netzwerkp

Only if you also use Synology photos like OP mentioned. I used to run on dedicated box, but have moved it back to my Synology DS1821+ since remote ML works so well that the 1821+ can handle everything else and has most of my storage. It took me hours to figure out how to fix this with targeted SQL q

Yeah, i got a 4800+ at the kickstarter. It really is kinda basic hardware compared to computers out today, but its so much faster than the synology in every measurable way. The 10gbe network is a must have. I genuinely think that Synology management has never used their own products. Its been great,

I wasn't sure if this was a QNAP forum, or the editors forum, when I got this notification. No matter what I say - I wind up insulting someone - perhaps I will wind up insulting you. This is the editors forum. It is for professional editors. Professional editors are not using iPhones and GoPro camer
