DiskStation DS925+

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

It all depends on what you are wanting to do. While there are a lot of people that have shunned Synology, it is still a solid ecosystem and very reliable/stable. My DS1019 has been running steady since I got it. I'm also considering getting another Synology to keep the ecosystem and demote the 1019

I bought the (Synology RAM DDR4 ECC SO-DIMM 8GB (D4ES01-8G)). Others have bought non-Synology and Non-ECC RAM (see the big RAM thread on the Synology subreddit where people share non-Synology/cheaper RAM they bought that works or not). Non-ECC may be OK most/some of the time, but the warnings agains

I just finished setting up my NAS as well for similar use cases as yours. Did a ton of research and second guessing, but here’s where I ended up: Get a 4 bay NAS. It just gives you so much flexibility for your setup and future. I got the DS925+. Was planing to get DS923+ but after Synology walked 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

I've set up NAS boxes for a lot of people over the years, so here's what I'd recommend: If you're on a tight budget (~$300):UGREEN DH4300 Plus. Yeah, it's ARM, but hear me out—I was skeptical too until I deployed like a dozen Docker containers on it. Thing runs surprisingly stable. Way better than t

Lots of good opinions here, and here's mine from someone who's been doing network storage for over 2 decades. Get yourself a NAS with an x64 based CPU. Avoid ARM based devices.I recommend Synology for their mature software advantage, which will be less of a hassle for user access, data sharing, and

Stabile Antwort, die ist gespeichert. Mich macht ein bisschen fertig, dass noch keiner auf den Gedanken gekommen ist, den Drucker einfach über das NAS zu verwenden anstatt mit USB-Kabel rumzulaufen. Gibt es deinerseits eine Empfehlung zur Synology? Wenn ich wählen könnte, würde ich mich für die DS92

I did see the synology news - should I be concerned that they might try to soft launch the same or similar exclusivity in future? I personally think they make the same mistake twice. Other people say that if they pulled that stuff once they'll do it again. So hard to say, but people left Synology fo

So would you wanna/need to tinker by building your own nas system (for example unraid) or rather have a ready piece of hardware like a Synology nas? You can start smallish with a 4 bay unit, so still be able to add additional drives as you go along (for synology choose the flexible shr1 raid). And i
