DS1825+

well - Synology has removed the DS1821+ from their website, so I cannot tell you what is the largest supported drive. On the current models - DS1823xs+ and DS1825+, they are only officially supporting Synology drives, not Seagate or Western Digital or Toshiba. There were some drives that were suppor

I think one of the main differences between somebody looking at a Unifi NAS and somebody looking at a QNAP or Synology NAS is in what they want out of their NAS. Are they looking for storage, or are the looking for a home server? The QNAP, Synology, UGREEN, etc, cater to those that want one box on t

I wasn't sure if this was a QNAP forum, or the editors forum, when I got this notification. No matter what I say - I wind up insulting someone - perhaps I will wind up insulting you. This is the editors forum. It is for professional editors. Professional editors are not using iPhones and GoPro camer

I'm aware of that and honestly I would've gone with QNAP TVS H1288x following your recommendations but it costs $4400 here, diskless VS $1600 USD for the Synology DS1825+

Exactly. See comparison between UGREEN NASync DXP8800 Plus and DS1825+ here. You can use Xpenology on Aoostar NAS. Or on your own build/hardware. Whatever you choose. I would highly recommend ARC loader since it's modern, versatile and easy to use. Take a look at it's FAQ and you'll see. IMHO whatev

The Synology DS1525+ (V1500B quad-core, 8GB, 5x3.5" plus 2x M.2) with the H10 Mini 10GbE adapter is US$910 The TS-h666TX has one less bay but has dual 10GbE, TB4, PCIe slot, and the convenience of the front-mounted M.2/E1.S carriers. It slots under the TVS-h674-i3 (i3-12100 4C/8T) which is $1799. Th

How flexible? Because if they don't have a NAS yet, it is a game changer. I would recommend a Synology DS1825+ for a beginner.

Ohhhhhh, so you mean running Xpenology on a UGREEN NASync DXP8800 Plus. That's interesting. It looks like it costs a couple hundred $CAD more than a DS1825+, though the CPU is much better. I'm guessing I would need to set up whatever the current bootloader (Arc?) is, and then install my drives? Woul

if you want a 6 drive system - buy a QNAP TVS-h674. Want an 8 drive system - buy a TVS-h874 or Synology DS1825+, DS1823xs+. Want Ubiuqiti only - then wait. Want to only spend $499 - $799 - then I can't help you. I know exactly how much money professional video editors make, and spending the money to
