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

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

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

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

So even a DS1821+ could use a old DX513 expansion bay. Many didn't know that out there. So all Synology expansion bays are universal to all models that support expansion bays That is correct for older Synology models like the DS918+, DS718+ and DS218+ which can work with a DX513 or DX213. But for an

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 got into plex because it came with my synology server. I have the synology to keep all my personal media and the apps it comes with are very well polished, it all ‘just works’. The DS720+ also is very low power consumption.. If I want to tinker and dabble with linux, I always use Debian , I’ll pla

I use the Synology DS720+ nas server, 2 TB, my photos were automatically sent to save no loss. Automatically erase in the smartphone under the control of Synology Photos. I prefer Private Cloud Than Cloud by Microsoft and etc...
