DiskStation DS920+

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

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

Personally if you want to learn and tinker, I reccomend proxmox. You can run as many virtual machines as your ram allows which means you can separate out one for your production server, and other for testing and tinkering. This of course adds a whole level of complexity to learn. It can help that it

How does their "secure private cloud" work? How does their system provide access to the NAS when not connected to the home network? This is 99.9999% full marketing bullshit It's marketing speak for "you can store files on your NAS" and "we provide ways to access your NAS remotely" It is NOT a VPN un
