DiskStation DS918+

wont be enough, the sales are not only plummeting because of the HDD debacle but also because their new systems simply suck, they are still using old CPUs without an iGPU so no hardware transcoding which is a huge downgrade to the previous models. the best Synology model a home user can buy is a use

A little bit different setup but I have unas pro, and I had synology rs1221+ (sold) i still have Synology DS918+. I have Intel NUC 13th gen for the apps. Personally for me synology has way more of different features but 99% of them i am not using. I think the best advantage of synology is iscsi supp

I used Synology Photos on my DS918+ NAS for multiple years, and switched to Immich about 1 year go. It's a much better platform, the web and the mobile apps. Synology Photos, by comparison, it's more basic and less flexible, and like all the other apps from Synology its development is stale. I like

Yes - I use a synology NAS for both my plex and homebrige, working well so far. I guess the unifi plugin for homebridge requires a certain amount of hardware to run smoothly (ie maybe don’t try a raspberry pi). So far the synology ds918+ is up to the task though I only have one protect camera so far

Yeah agree depending could be quite different run times.. But would be nice if they put up a curve on load, I mean I doubt the nas is going to draw 120W if its not really doing anything, etc. So from my napkin math should be able to get at least 20 minutes out of it I would think.. Not exactly sure

It depends on your goals. If you value the simplicity of a single device that does "everything", the ease of cable management, fast response times between services, etc, stay with one box. If you value the freedom to do "whatever you like, regardless of vendor", splitting them up might be a good ide

Ich bin jetzt bei knapp 1,8TB und ca. 80k an Objekten. Synology Fotos ist nicht gut, vor allem nicht beim Syncen. Parachute ist super beim Backup der iCloud Library. Meine ersten Versuche auf einem rpi5 mit Immich waren trotz lokaler ssd bei der Datenmenge richtig schlecht, die mobile App hat sich i

Your current Synology does not have hard drive lock, nor expansion. And they will probably cave soon enough. If you want to blow another $1000 on some new hardware just say that. That DS918 aint cheap. If you are used to DSM and you have failed on the command line I HIGHLY suggest you just get an ex

I think first up you will need to decide if you want to go DIY or Pickup a turnkey solution. I would start here on this NASCompares channel video. This is pretty recent and should point out some differences between the 2 and which might be a good choice.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n-YxbQYn8vs&t=

What hardware are you self hosting on ? I deployed in a container on my Synology NAS DS918+. It cannot play any stream, no matter what options I choose in the settings. Just a bunch of ffmpeg errors.
