DiskStation DS1821+

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,

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.

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,

What year/midel of the Nas? Synology has worse cpu, I had to run immich on mac mini, my synology 1821+ with 64gb of ram couldn’t handle it (i have smart search and ocr on)

I have 4 synology NASs, I use it daily, and UGOS is just as good if not better. The photos app is absolutely better. Your argument makes no sense, because every time the OS on the synology is updated, it takes more core resources and the whole experience gets worse. Synology doesn't make sense on PR

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

Using a AMD V1500B quad-core 2.2Ghz 32GB ram here. Running on a Synology DS1821+. This CPU is really the hard bottom line. Most of the time it's okay, but if you can. Having a little bit more headroom for the Roonserver is surely convenient.

Seems completely pointless to me. If you're transcoding the Synology will struggle. If you're not transcoding I'd say your upload speed is going to be the bottle neck. I have recently pulled my Plex server from the DS1821+ and put it on an i5 9500. The difference is night and day and I hardly even w

I also have the same Beelink EQI12 you have with a Synology ds1821 for storage. The performance bump I got from moving Plex from the ds1821 to the Beelink was well worth it and I wouldn't go back. The only mod I made was switching from Windows to Ubuntu on the Beelink.
