DiskStation DS223

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.

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

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

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

I went down this same path this weekend. [Full story in comment here.] In the end I bought a Synology. I looked at the DS223j then paid a little extra to get the DS223 to get the better processor and extra RAM. The Synology cost about the same as building a PC with mostly used parts, and it's like a

thanks, honestly willing to pay more for ease of setup. I'm not familiar with NAS or Linux. It seems I wouldn't need transcoding from what i've seen, the most I would need is downscaling the resolution which can be done on software side? was looking at the Synology DS223j?

Ist aber für deinen Anwendungsfall wahrscheinlich ziemlicher Overkill und komplizierter einzurichten, hat aber

i ran a pi nas for about a year with just photos and docs. honestly the reliability worries are a bit overblown for light use like yours. what finally made me switch was the convenience of a dedicated nas - something like a Synology DS223j just works without tinkering. pulled my drives over and have

Edit directly off the NAS (so I don't have to manually transfer files to my PC?Mac and then back One of the points of a NAS is that you can mount it as drive on your computer across your local network (e.g. wifi) so that you can open files on it in the apps you already use the same way you open file

I’m a huge fan of low end NAS. lower end devices have less powerful processor and use less power. I haven’t had. They are always on and both have a low power idle. To me the best home NAS synology makes is DS223j which gets you all the synology software but it can’t run containers A DS 225+ will. Mo
