Cum arata home serverul vostru?

Vezi r/homelab . LE3: am avut synology DS920+ dar era overkill cu Home Assistant in Synology (6GB ram se evaporau practic). Iar Plex in Synology la un film 1080 e o gluma, daramite sa pui un 4k mai ales ca nu are placa video dedicata. Eu am server sh cu 64GB ECC cu Intel cu 10 coreuri si 20 Threadur

How are y'all managing your photo libraries?

Did this as well. I got a synology 920+ with two 10TB drives. Have been using them for 3 years. It also doubles as my Plex media server as well. Worth the 700 or so upfront cost. I'll probably add two more 14TB drives at the end of the year.

DS920+ to what?

We also have a 920+. It is up to date and will receive full updates for quite a while, no end of live is announced for it and once it is announced, Synology typically provides security updates for another 2 years, so use it and enjoy it until further notice. If you only use as backup file server, Sy

Looking for a NAS for a Plex/Jellyfin server

I run Jellyfin on my Synology DS920+ NAS. IMO, only Synology's plus series of NAS devices (with a GPU) are suitable for a consumer grade Jellyfin server. Among the latest models, only the DS425+ has the GPU needed for Jellyfin hardware transcoding - - that's probably the NAS I'd get if I bought one

Synology Nas , Nvidia Shield or minipc for Plex server?

Plex Media Server on a mini-PC. Storage on DAS or NAS. The Shield is a great client. It is a terrible server. You do not need a Plex Pass for hardware transcoding with a Shield. However, that advantage is more than offset by the issues. The prime problem is that the server is prone to simply disappe

Begynder NAS

Jeg har været godt tilfreds med min Synology DS920+. Det er en lidt dyr indgangspris, men man får en ret robus softwarepakke med. Men man skal være opmærksom på at mange nyere NAS bruger AMD chips og derfor ikke har en Intel GPU der kan bruges til at accelerere video transcoding... som ikke altid er

Beginner here - Synology sounds like an amazing ecosystem, but it also feels like a lot of people are jumping ship. Could someone offer insight?

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

Goodbye Synology, hello Unraid!

Cool looking build! I made the same journey recently and am very happy. I still have my 920+ for a few things and as a backup for critical files on the unraid. I now run all my main apps and file serving from unraid and it works flawlessly. I think it's easier in some areas than the Synology.
