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

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

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

Wie kann ich einen USB Stick mit meiner Fritzbox verbinden, wenn die keinen USB Stecker hat?
https://www.amazon.de/Synology-DS223J-Bay-Desktop-White/dp/B0C99TX1RM/ Falls deine FritzBox wirklich kein USB hat (haben eigentlich die allermeisten) kann du sowas hier per LAN anschließen. Ist aber für deinen Anwendungsfall wahrscheinlich ziemlicher Overkill und komplizierter einzurichten, hat aber

What's a good, simple, entry-level NAS option that will "just work" in 2026?
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
