DiskStation DS1821+

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

Good morning. Your "Synology rep" - really ? using an iSCSI LUN has nothing to do with remote editing. For your simple application - all you need to do is connect via the built in SMB network protocol, which is both on your Mac (and any office PC) and the Synology. To do professional video editing,

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

Synology DS1821+, 32GB memory, 10GBe card and 8 x 18TB WD Red Pro HDDs. Run dozens of Docker containers on it and haven't felt the need for anything more powerful yet. Worth noting, no transcoding is done.

It being slow seems to be a synology limitation. I had overseer as the only container running, a quad core ryzen CPU, 500GB of NVME cache and 64GB of RAM in my DS1821+. Still performed awfully, moving to another box made it lightning fast.

Totally. The battery replacement is $219 and I’m thinking, I need something newer on my NAS. It’s the 8 bay DS1821+ which I still love and is in used daily!

SSDs are wasted on a NAS, don't bother. The bottleneck is your network connection. Its like taking a 5 gallon bucket and dumping it into a drinking straw. Its not going to go through any faster than a regular water bottle. If you have SSDs laying around then use them, but you will get the same speed

I have a Synology DS1821+ with 8x 20tb Exos drives and a Chelsio 2 port SFP+ 10Gbps network card. It is friggin fantastic. Probably overkill based on what you said, but I think if you find a Synology with the network and storage capacity you need it's really hard to go wrong with them
