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

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.

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

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

You can host web version of obsidian. https://www.reddit.com/r/ObsidianMD/s/5ADZMxfyrD I hosts it on a synology ds720+. It's laggy sometimes but it's usable.

I had everything running on a DS720+, I moved it all to a N100 and very happy I did. Everything is just smoother. Also all my downloads are happening on that machine. I now only use the synology for storage and cloud sync. Not a single Docker is running on it anymore.
