DiskStation DS920+

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.

Synology NAS hardware works with Time Machine over the network. Buy a Synology case, drop a suitable drive or drives in it and after a few minutes of setup, you are ready. They even support cloning the data to cloud storage for automatic offsite backups - for an added fee of course. Most NAS support

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

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

Just a few days ago I pulled the trigger on the DXP6800 Pro. What a jump in performance from my old Synology 920+. I picked up 2 more Seagate IronWolf drives and now running six 12tb drives in RAID 10. I only glanced at the DXP4800, but I thought if I am going to upgrade then go 6 bay. Nice that the

Same situation here, ran Synology Photos on a DS920+ for a couple years before switching. The memory creep on long timeline scrolls is real and it never got fixed properly in my experience. Annoying on a tablet especially. Immich is genuinely better. The client-side memory issue does not exist in th

I actually use 2 - I have a DS718+ and a DS920+. A little clarification from my comment might be needed. The Mac needs to be running to get backed up, but all the other cloud backups happen without any intervention from a computer. To set it up, a computer would be easier than a tablet, but it’s pro

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

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

The compatibility list for Synology (pre 2025) is what they will support with tech support, not what you can use and the NAS will recognize,if memory serves me right. Does the DS920+ see the drives? If yes, use them. If not, try your hand at a "hand-made" NAS with OpenMediavault, Unraid or TrueNas (
