DiskStation DS925+

Hardware: The DS925+ is a "downgrade" to the DS923+. No option for 10GbE anymore. The DS4800 plus/pro has 1x10GbE. While Synology now allows 3rd party HDDs in their x25+ series, I think 3rd party NVMEs are still restricted (cache or pool?), but I could be wrong about this. Ugreens hardware offering

I just came from a DS918+ myself to a 4800+! I can compare. I had a 918+ which was getting close to 8 years old and wanted to replace the hardware, but I just upgraded to 4 x 20TB drives a year ago. I was waiting for the DS925+. When that released, and I saw only Synology branded drives were support

Se não és versado em tecnologia recomendo Qnap, Asustor e UGreen. Todos têm um setup relativamente simples. Apesar de eu ainda ter duas unidades da Synology a bombar 24/7, já não sou capaz de os recomendar em boa consciência uma vez que o hardware e as limitações que começaram a impor não justificam

Fair enough thanks. I don't think I'd have any major trouble with DIY, it's just more about learning the specifics of this world rather than an overall view on how the machine works. I did see the synology news - should I be concerned that they might try to soft launch the same or similar exclusivit

I had a Synology 10y ago, utterly crippled by a crap CPU but DSM was great. Bought an UNRAID based NAS two months ago, even with prior experience of Unix based OSs going back over a decade, after two months of wrestling with permissions and configuring by CLI, I cut my losses and jumped to a UGREEN

My apologies for missing your post. What about electricity consumption? More power = more consumption, and keeping a system always on becomes expensive. You're absolutely correct. But. A modern desktop processor uses extremely little power and idles down to practically nothing. A i3 12/13/14100 mach

I did jump that way, I am just setting up the new DS925+. Not 100% happy with synology, but rolling my own would just take too much time to migrate all my used services. Thank!

As far as I know, native playback still requires a media engine somewhere to do the processing, the GPU-less NAS can indeed serve the media file and whatever device you would be watching it on can do the playback processing. As long as the device receiving the file can decode and play the file on ca

One thing to be aware of is that Synology is now locking out any HDD except their own branded ones, which cost a lot more. I have a DS916+ and a DS918+ and was looking to upgrade them to the DS925+. I can't bring my old drives to the new NAS without most of the feature being disabled. Now I have to

Just buy this https://a.co/d/a1G1acZ , it has intel 8505, which is about double the speed of ryzen 1500b on DS925+ . And Intel 8505 have iGPU which allow you to encode/decode on Plex. (Ryzen 1500b doesn't have iGPU) uGreen DXP4800 plus comes with 10Gbpe and 2.5Gbpe ethernet as standard. So basically
