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

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.

Most performance per power with CPU TDP up to 15W with reasonable price.
Out of suggested price, but to consider based on perfomance - around 4 times better than N100 and in comparision to N97 - around 5 times is for example U58 Mini PC based on AMD Ryzen 7 5825U. Problem is transcoding - I find out that is worse than on Intel. I don't need it this, but it is crucial inf

Need help getting started (what to buy, etc)
A turnkey NAS like Synology or QNAP is much easier to configure and maintain than an DIY NAS running Unraid or TrueNAS. My Synology NAS is brain dead simple to configure and maintain, but the hardware is pricey. My Synology NAS model (DS920+) supports hardware transcoding. It works well with Plex, w
