DiskStation DS920+

If I'm not mistaken, there are scripts to get rid of the Synology requirement. But it's some BS that Synology still requires branded SSDs. When I upgrade from my 920+ it's not going to be a Synology NAS.

Use any factory built NAS, strictly as a NAS and it'll be awesome. Synology specifically screwed their brethren by forcing the purchase of drives that are 2x the price of an identical drive from another manufacturer. Period. The NAS and OS are very nice and friendly. So. I'd still recommend Synology

I'm using the DS920+ right now, but I've been thinking about upgrading to something with 10GbE and enough power to seamlessly transcode 4K remux movies. I've looked at the UniFi NAS, but I haven't really done much research on it yet. And yeah, I read about the hard drive fiasco. Someone at Synology

But even with having added additional memory however doing that much more with my ds920+ is likely not really going to fly, as running windows within VMM is rather slow and tedious.

This of course adds a whole level of complexity to learn. It can help that it

I had a DS920+ and am still in the process of migrating to a new UNAS Pro 8. As others have said, if you’re running apps on your Synology (I was) you’ll need a separate piece of kit to handle those applications (I bought an MS-A2). For me it was worth it. I got a better NAS and a better “server”, an

I was already going to transition away from Synology before this news. 1: I am asking too much of my DS920+ (load of containers) so will be offloading most of not all containers to a Proxmox server. Initially a Ryzen 5 2600 PC that is not being used for anything else but eventually a cluster of Inte

I think many people are in the same situation as you. I have been using Synology for 15-20 years and I think my current DS920+ will be my last for a while. I will still use it, probably for as long as they update DSM for it, but I am going to be splitting off some functionality to other servers. I a
