Anyone 'regret' coming from another NAS ecosystem - and going to ugreen ugos?
No remorse so far with DXP4800+ (2024 kickstarter $420) coming from coming Synology DS107e (2007 $200), DS410 (2011 $500), DS218+ (2019 $250). Synology was getting too expensive and not enough HW for their pricing.

Best, most basic Mac Mini to host Channels server?
I have a Synology 218+, but I came across this post on here a few weeks ago because I was having the same issues the OP in that post described; most everyone who replied suggested that their Mac Minis either fixed the issue or the issue one at all for them. So I am just looking...

Kaufberatung: Fotosicherung & KI-Gesichtserkennung – NAS oder Software-Lösung am PC?
Ich hab ein NAS von Synology (DS218+). Die integrierte Foto App macht genau das, was du beschreibst. Gesichts- und Objekterkennung, lokal. Und wenn die Foto App auf dem Handy installiert ist, werden geschossene Bilder automatisch hochgeladen. Eigentlich genau das, was du willst. Wählst du auch eine

State of UGreen vs Synology
I moved over to a DXP4800 Plus from a DS218+ about a month ago. I am using the NAS just as a storage device, so for me there is little difference. My backups to my USB drive work as intended. My offsite backup to One Drive works via cloud sync. My only complaint is their sync app is very lacking com

DicoverLastFM - Automatic music discovery for Plex using Last.fm data
Hey, glad you like it! Yeah exactly, you'll need Headphones first. It's the missing piece that actually downloads the music. Your Synology + Plex setup is perfect, and the DS220j should handle it fine. I'm running everything on a DS218+ so you've got plenty of resources. The flow is: DiscoveryLastFM

DS218+ Upgrade
I still have My DS218+. I'm using it for PC backups, Plex and Channels DVR also. I'm probably going to retire it at the end of this year. I was just thinking about going with a Mini-PC and a few external drives as I don't really use any of the Synology apps.

Terramaster D4-320 vs Synology DS218+
Neither. Neither one of them are servers. They're both Network Attached Storage devices. Both of them have dog shit processors, the Terramaster with a Asmedia SoC, the Synology with a nearly decade old bottom of the barrel Celeron. (Seriously, the J3355 in the 218+ was released in 2016. It has a tot

Hello fellow mkv enthusiasts and data Horders
Also definitely factor in the storage and keep in mind that you'll very likely need more than you think you will down the line. I started off with a 2-bay Synology DS218+ and two WD red 4TB drives, thought I'll never fill up those. But keep in mind, if you want redundancy (failover tolerance) one of

Synology to QNAP
I went from a DS218+ to a TS-664 (was waiting on the 923+ from Synology and that crapped out). I've been pretty happy with it and the 664 was better hardware specs and more storage space for less money. I left existing data on my 218+ and built 664 from new drives and just transferred data over via
