DiskStation DS925+

As a retired IT professional I see the appeal of those systems and have had to deal with them with new clients.. however the Synology DS925+ and UGREEN DXP4800 are both consumer/prosumer NAS appliances. They’re excellent for home users, enthusiasts, and small offices, but they are not enterprise-cla

I suggest you reach out to an IT company that can help you set this up, but at a minimum a DIY solution needs to be a NAS with a second NAS or cloud storage as backup (the latter of course will get very expensive) I genuinely recommend a 4 bay Synology like a DS925+ kitted out with 4 24-30TB drives

Made the switch yesterday. Had a DS223j, wanted something that was quicker and could actually do docker / jellyfin. Had an order in for a DS925+ until I saw that it couldn't do hardware transcoding anymore without a modification of the drivers. Decided to cancel that and buy the DXP4800 Pro and so f

Synology, I just upgraded to a new model and believe me I don'y know much about NAS and I don't care.Just set up my folders 8 years ago and I try to make a back up to an external drive every 2 weeks.When changed from DS418 to the new DS925+ just swapped the drives checking the order and it recognize

on a closed platform, with limited updates and forced NVME types and even attempted to lockin synology branded hdds. all that for underpowered and overpriced subpar hardware all of that with only 5 years of full support the ds925 only delivers 4gb ecc memory which makes it basically impossible to ru

The overall best two Synology models to consider that are 4 bay and decently priced, with good overall options, would be the DS925+ and the DS923+. The DS925+ would rank as better imo because it's newer. Otherwise both have similar specs. For example, the DS925+: CPU: AMD Ryzen V1500B 4-core 2.2 (ba

I just went through this myself... I've been a Synology user for 5 years now ish. Completely removed myself and my family from google photos, icloud, facebook, amazon photos lol... just cleaned it all off and turned off all the subscriptions. Moved to Synology and then when the DS925+ came out I mov

As an aside to your comment about Synology being "overpriced"... A DS925+ is $640. A UNAS Pro 4 is $500. I'd argue that the Synology brings a hell of a lot to the table for that extra $140 that the UNAS does not. The only thing the UNAS has that the Syno does not is the 10GB ports.

FYI - You are aware that Synology rescinded the “Synology Only Drives” limitation for DSxx25+ models. For example, I just added a DS925+ and installed 3 non-compatibility listed drives (Seagate EXOS X20 18TB) and everything is working perfectly. Sure I got the “drives not on list” warning when setti

I could have written this exact post myself yesterday before deciding on ordering a new DS925+ and the Synology +8GB ECC expansion RAM and (2) WD RED Plus 10TB drives (to start). I kept thinking…I could save money with a UGREEN…I can figure out how to lock it down…I can ignore, and not think every d
