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

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,

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.

Sure! Usage and risk estimation is totally yours 😀 Bear in mind that commodity NVMEs (and SSDs and even HDDs) may not be able to flush all data from DRAM to storage/hardware in case of power loss and you may loose and corrupt your data this way. You estimate risks yourself, but ECC is important for

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 had similar issues with "7.3.2-86009 Update 3", worked fine with "7.3.2-86009 Update 2".I'm running plex server version v.1.43.0.10492-121068a07 (last available to date) and also upgrading to the beta (v.1.43.1.10540-3972d551c) did not solve this. I use my plex daily and found this really frustrat

I started with a DS920+ and now I have a DS1821+ w/ DX513 expansion plus a DS1618+. If drives were cheaper I'd probably have less and just upgraded the drives in my DS1821+.
