What's the best time capsule / time machine replacement?

If you want it just for Time Machine - the Synology DS223j. Soon after you get it you'll see all the uses and which you purchased a better one.

Finally jumped ship from Synology to the Ugreen DXP4800 Pro. The hardware difference is actually comical.

Made the switch yesterday. Had a DS223j, wanted something that was quicker and could actually do docker / jellyfin. Had an order in for a DS925+ until I saw that it couldn't do hardware transcoding anymore without a modification of the drivers. Decided to cancel that and buy the DXP4800 Pro and so f

Looking to upgrade from Synology DS223j

fwiw, i also have a DS223j from a couple of years back but i recently bought a 4-bay terramaster f4-423 for around the same price and it's been pretty solid, no complaints at all. i stuck a spare 8gb of ram in it and it seems to run really fast. I actually prefer the OS to synology tbh

NAS tárhely tapasztalatok és segítség?

Nekem van egy pár Synology NAS-om. Belépő szintűek, J osztályúak. Van 10 évesél is régebbi és szépen megy. Otthonra ajánlhatom a DS223j típust. Ebbe tehetsz egy vagy két lemezt, ezek lehetnek RAIDben vagy szólóban is. NASba SSD-t nem célszerű használni, kivéve ha kifejezetten erre tervezett a NAS. E

[Q] Any chance of continuing to use macOS w/ a Time Capsule

Nope, and you don't want to. Buy a simple two-disk NAS like a Synology DS223j with NAS grade drives, set it up as a RAID1 mirror and move on. If you're using an original Time Capsule, that drive must be 10+ years old at this point (assuming it's original) and if it's an older Time Capsule could be a

advice on NAS

I just went through this "I need a NAS" journey ... here's my story ... (all prices Canadian) I watched a video where a guy set up a NAS with regular HDDs on an old PC with TrueNAS and figured I'd do that. Searched online for old parts ... found ads for a used i5-6500/cpucooler/MSI Mini ITX board fo

simpelt videoovervågning

Du kan gratis installere 2 kameraer på din Synology. Jeg har 4 stk Tapo C200 som koster omkring 200,- stykket. De fungerer perfekt. To af dem streamer til min Synology DS223j. Mht. at sætte kamera op bag vinduer så er det ok om dagen men med infrared tændt når det er mørkt så blænder kameraet sig se

Best/safest remote access

synology vs alternatives: ugreen is newer/cheaper but the software ecosystem is still maturing. qnap has more features but the ui is clunkier. for a family thats not super tech savvy, synology's polish is worth the premium imo. synology photos has an ios app that auto-uploads in background - works s

Elimde Synology DS218j var, 2 TB alan bomboş duruyor. Film/Dizi dışında ne yapabilirim? Fikirlerinize ihtiyacım var.

DS223J sahibiyim temel olarak aynı cihaz. Ağa bağlı depolama olarak kullanmak dışında bir işlev kazandırmanı önermiyorum. Community uygulamalardan containera her şeyi denedim, günlük hayatta işe yarayan tek uygulama plex oldu o da transcode olmadan. O yüzden eğer ille de bir şeyler kurayım diyorsan

Bakckup-Festplatten als Langzeit Speicher

Für Langzeit-Backups im Schrank ist eine SSD nicht ideal, weil Flash-Zellen ohne regelmäßige Stromzufuhr über Jahre hinweg an Ladung verlieren können. Das passiert nicht sofort, aber nach 1–5 Jahren kann es kritisch werden, besonders bei Billig-SSDs. Eine HDD ist für so etwas deutlich besser geeigne
