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

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

This ^^^ I moved Plex Media Server from a DS918+ to an i5-10500 Ubuntu PC a couple years ago. Best move ever. No problem transcoding, burning subtitles, etc. It is a bare metal installation, no 20+ containers. Just Plex Media Server and Tautulli via Snap. Plenty of headroom should I want to add anyt

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

Be careful with the performance of the DS918+. I have one, in addition to a DS1521+ and DS1621xs+. The 1621 is about four times as fast as the 918. But still not nearly as good is my setup where I have Immich running on a Minipc and the Synology NAS is just to host the storage. My Minisforum MS-01 i

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.

Thx for chiming in. I thought might not be the best idea to write cams to the NVMes. I read something like just keeping snapshots and a few days events on there and record the rest to the Synology or something? No my HA and Frigate is down for this new setup. I was running and older version of Friga

DS918+ can bond on those two 1G links. This way you spread those camera sessions out some. But yea, no 10G options, only 2 nics and not 4 like modern units..etc. what I might do is run the cameras to PVE's stack, and have a dedicated path to the DS918 and see what that does. If you exceed the networ
