DiskStation DS720+

I have a DS720+ which also ships with 2 GB of RAM. I added a 16 GB module, so now it has 18 GB total, which is more than enough for everything I run. According to monitoring, Immich uses around 2 GB at idle and up to 8 GB while indexing a new library. I run all ML tasks on my MacBook because process

Recommend you buy a premade NAS on your first one for a couple reasons. First less effort on your part software wise. Second they aren’t much more than DIY. So generally speaking Synology has a great reputation and is popular. I have the DS720+ with two 1 TB SSDs as cache, maxxed out RAM, and two 4

I did the same thing then came to my senses. I started streaming and even doing hardware compression on my DS720+, then moved it off to a small PC. Opitplex SFF is an amazing way to go. I got a Dell Optiplex 3040 SFF (i5 6500) - scored off FB marketplace which I purchased for a song.. and have since

QNAP makes pretty solid tech. As does UGREEN. Synology not as much these days but still I have a DS720+ and it’s pretty good with all the dockers I’ve got running on it. Basically what I’m saying is that instead of what brand you should be looking at specs and where your latency might be: is it beca

This is before Beestation. I bought a DS180j for JUST photo storage. It worked but I quickly outgrew the “food server only” use and wanted the “+” features so went to a DS720+. At that time ARM based Docker containers weren’t common. If I did it all over again I’d look really hard at a PI and an ext

IMHO, upgrade the DS720+ to 6T or 8T drives (if you are SH1 now, just pop a drive for a bigger one and rebuild, wait for that to complete, then pop the other and rinse and repeat, then expand storage). I would leave Plex on the DS720+ as its closer to the media and runs native on the DS720 and not i

I ran into the same issue, twice. First bought an ARM Synology strictly as a file server. Well even using their photo software I outgrew it in about a year. Went to a DS720+. It did most stuff if I didn’t abuse it. Kept the old one strictly for backups. But wanted better routing AND more Docker appl

Puedes usar Quickconnect, tailscale o contratar una IP pública (De preferencia fija)... Hasta donde sé, el único ISP que te da IP pública (dinámica), de forma gratuita a partir de ciertos paquetes, es Telmex. Tengo varios años con NAS synology y es lo que me ha funcionado (Tengo dos DS720+, uno loca

Based on your description and my experience: Don’t bother with BSD based software because it just adds overhead since Linux will be a VM. So maybe OVM but not TrueNAS for instance. Zima is limited to Zima. In fact when I bought a new box I first used OpenWRT which does everything with a Synology-lik

As ppl have said already, it depends on if your playback device supports the codecs used in the media for direct playback (no transcoding), or if you'll have enough bandwidth in the network to even do direct playback, or if you'll transcode it in case some codecs are unsupported. the Synology Beesta
